Percy Hatfield MPP Windsor-Tecumseh Petition to Pass Bill 13, An Act to establish the Poet Laureate of Ontario in memory of Gord Downie To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario: Whereas poets laureate have been officially recognized at all levels of Canadian government and in at least 15 countries around the world; and Whereas the establishment of our own poet laureate for the province of Ontario would promote literacy and celebrate Ontario culture and heritage, along with raising public awareness of poetry and of the spoken word; and Whereas Gord Downie was a poet, a singer and advocate for Indigenous issues, and designating the poet laureate in his memory will serve to honour him and continue his legacy; and Whereas Bill 13, An Act to establish the Poet Laureate of Ontario in memory of Gord Downie, will establish the Office of Poet Laureate for the province of Ontario as a non-partisan attempt to promote literacy, to focus attention on our iconic poets and to give new focus to the arts community in Ontario; We the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows: To support the establishment of the Office of Poet Laureate as an officer of the Ontario Legislature and that Private Member’s Bill 13, An Act to establish the Poet Laureate of Ontario in memory of Gord Downie, receive swift passage through the legislative process.

[Le français suit] For Immediate Release June 29, 2020 Nominate Ontario’s First Poet Laureate TORONTO — The Legislative Assembly of Ontario has started the process of inviting nominations for a Poet Laureate for the Province. "For the first time in our history, we will be celebrating our literary arts by selecting an Ontario Poet Laureate," said the Legislature's Speaker Ted Arnott. "Poetry nourishes and inspires, and our poets speak to our hearts and souls. This initiative could not come at a better time." Introduced by Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Percy Hatfield, the Poet Laureate of Ontario Act (In Memory of Gord Downie) was passed unanimously in the Legislature in December 2019. It honours the late former lead singer of popular Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip, whose poetic lyrics touched the hearts of Canadians from coast to coast. A native of Kingston, Ontario, Downie passed away in October 2017. Upon appointment by the Legislature, the Poet Laureate will report to the Speaker as an officer of the Assembly for a two-year term. Responsibilities will include writing poetry, promoting art and literacy in the province, celebrating Ontario and its people and raising the profile of Ontario poets. Applications for the position are being accepted through to September 15, 2020. Following the acceptance of nominations, a selection panel will prepare a short list of the nominees by December and announce a chosen nominee by February, 2021. Ontario’s Poet Laureate selection panel: • The Honourable Ted Arnott, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and MPP for Wellington-Halton Hills • Vicki Whitmell, Executive Director and Legislative Librarian, Information and Technology Division, Legislative Assembly of Ontario • Rita Davies, Chair, Ontario Arts Council • David Tsubouchi, Member of the Board of Directors, Ontario Arts Council and former Ontario Cabinet Minister and MPP Qualifications for the position include primary residency in Ontario and being the author of at least one volume of poetry within the last 10 years.

WECHU Board of Health Local MPP’S – Percy Hatfield, Lisa Gretzky, Taras Natyshak, Rick Nicholls
May 21, 2019 The Honorable Christine Elliott Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Hepburn Block 10th Floor 80 Grosvenor Street Toronto, ON M7A 1E9 Dear Minister Elliott: Urgent provincial action needed to address the potential health and social harms from the ongoing modernization of alcohol retail sales in Ontario On behalf of the Windsor-Essex County Board of Health we are writing to you in support of Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit’s request to the Government of Ontario to develop a comprehensive provincial alcohol strategy to mitigate harms and monitor the health impacts of the increasing access and availability of alcohol in Ontario. Annual costs directly attributed to alcohol-related harms in the form of health care, law enforcement, lost productivity, premature mortality and other alcohol-related problems, are estimated at $5.3 billion, contributing to a significant burden on Ontario’s health care system. Research evidence shows that policy tools designed to influence drinking levels and patterns can reduce disease, disability, death and social disruption from alcohol. It is well established that increased alcohol availability leads to increased consumption and alcohol–related harms. We agree with the SMDHU’s belief that a comprehensive, provincially led alcohol strategy can help mitigate the potential harms of alcohol use, and thereby encourage the government to develop a provincial strategy to include education and awareness campaigns, enforcement of alcohol marketing regulations and improved monitoring systems to track alcohol-related harms. The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit thanks you for your consideration. Sincerely, Gary McNamara, Chair Theresa Marentette Chair, Board of Health Chief Executive Officer Encl: SMDHU Letter to Christine Elliott, MOHLTC c: Premier Doug Ford Ontario Boards of Health Loretta Ryan, Association of Local Public Health Units Dr.
