Please join us on December 6th as The Honourable John Milloy takes the podium at the Canadian Club of Toronto to discuss Ontario’s new Open Government initiative.
Governments around the world are prioritizing open data and open information to promote innovation and strengthen their relationship with the people they serve. Premier Kathleen Wynne and Minister John Milloy have recently launched Ontario’s Open Government initiative, emphasizing citizen dialogue and engagement to create informed policy and encourage participation.
The Hon. John Milloy was first elected Member of Provincial Parliament for Kitchener Centre in 2003 and was re-elected in 2007 and 2011. He currently serves as Government House Leader, a particularly important role during a minority government. He was also appointed Minister of Government Services in May 2013.
He served as Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, Minister of Research and Innovation and Minister of Community and Social Services.
John’s political interest began at age 13 when he worked as a Queen’s Park page and continued as he worked in political offices at both the provincial and federal level. From 1997 to 2002, John served as Legislative Assistant to Prime Minister Jean Chretien.
John holds a BA (Honours) in History from Carleton University, a Master’s degree from the London School of Economics and a doctorate in Modern History from the University of Oxford where he was a Commonwealth Scholar.
