Please join The Canadian Club of Toronto on Monday, January 31st, when Hon. Deb Matthews Ph.D. Minister of Health and Long-Term Care speaks at our podium.
Deb Matthews was elected to the Ontario Legislature by the people of London North Centre in 2003, and re-elected in 2007. Following her re-election, she was appointed Minister of Children and Youth Services and Minister Responsible for Women’s Issues. In October 2009 she was appointed to her current position as Minister of Health and Long-Term Care and is committed to constantly improving our health care system with a focus on shorter wait times, better access to high-quality family health care for Ontarians, and most importantly, putting patients first.
Throughout her life, Deb has been actively involved in community organizations. She served as President of Big Sisters of London, and has volunteered with organizations including the Thames Valley Children’s Centre, the Salvation Army, Orchestra London, and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. Her annual community book drive has collected tens of thousands of books destined for the eager eyes of young readers.
Her professional experience includes time spent in the construction industry, fundraising for the Boys and Girls Club of London, and teaching at the University of Western Ontario where she was twice honoured with a place on the University Students’ Council Teaching Honour Roll while completing her Ph.D. in Social Demography.
