JOINTLY WITH THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS ASSOCIATION OF CANADA.
On Monday, November 5th, Kathleen will join Amanda Lang of BNN.tv for a live onstage interview to discuss the campaign, her victory and her expectations for the upcoming legislative session.
Kathleen has served as MPP for Don Valley West since October 2003. As Ontario’s Minister of Education, Kathleen secured an early release of grants to school boards to allow predictable budgeting, increased funding by $962 million in the 2007-08 school year to a total of $18.4 billion, passed legislation to fix the Safe Schools Act, and continued work to lower primary class sizes, increase provincial test scores and increase high school graduation rates. As MPP for Don Valley West, she successfully advocated for stronger tenant protection, creation of the Ontario Child Benefit, greater access to employment for foreign-trained professionals, reform to make the Ontario Municipal Board a true appeal body, and greater powers for the City of Toronto.
A former school trustee and educator herself, Kathleen lives in North Toronto, where she and her partner Jane are active in the community.
