Equal Voice kicks off the Ontario Challenge

On February 23, we held a press conference annoucing the second Ontario Challenge with representatives from each of the elected provincial parties, Liberal MPP and cabinet minister the Hon. Deb Matthews, PC MPP for Kitchener-Waterloo Elizabeth Witmer and NDP MPP for Parkdale-High Park Cheri DiNovo.

Following the press conference, all three provincial leaders made special announcements in the legislative chamber, pledging their support to run more female candidates then they did in the 2007 election.

A big thanks to Rosemary Speirs and Beki Scott who spear-headed the organization of this year's Challenge, and to Lesley Byrne, Velma Morgan, Donna Dasko and Nancy Peckford for their assistance.

Interested in getting involved?

With such a busy schedule ahead of us, help is always welcome. If you have a few hours to spare to help with the upcoming mixer and/or the EVE lunch, please send an email to the chapter.

The Toronto Chapter was created in 2009 when the Founding Chapter, the Toronto Chapter and the Toronto Youth Chapter merged. We focus on all levels of government in Toronto.
