"Lois Jackson" is a Canada/Canadian politician, currently the mayor of Delta, British Columbia.

Originally from Greater Sudbury/Sudbury, Ontario, Jackson and her husband first moved to Delta in 1969. She was first elected to Delta Municipal Council in 1972.

Jackson was elected in November 1999 to become Delta's second female mayor, replacing the first female mayor Beth Johnson. She was re-elected in a close contest in the British Columbia municipal elections, 2005/2005 elections to a third term as mayor.

As mayor Jackson opposed a treaty with the Tsawwassen First Nation, for fear it would result in Delta losing its agricultural land.

In December 2005, she was elected chair of the Greater Vancouver Regional District board, of which she had been a member for the previous nine years. Vancouver councillor Peter Ladner spent the week of the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention lobbying for support to challenge current chairwoman Lois Jackson in December 2009.
