I'm thrilled to celebrate the first Persons Day in Ontario today.
October 18, 1929 was a landmark moment in the fight for women’s equality in Canada when five brave women succeeded in having women included in the legal definition of “persons.”

Last year, more than 81,000 people in Ontario experienced homelessness—a 25% jump in just two years.
I know Ontarians care about their neighbours. Let's come together and ask the Ford government to take the actions we know make a difference.
