Eric Hoskins RESPECT FOR RURAL ONTARIO ERIC HOSKINS WWW.ERICFORLEADER.CA ABOUT ERIC Dr. Eric Hoskins was first elected as the MPP for the Toronto riding of St. Paul’s in 2009. He served most recently as Ontario’s Minister of Children and Youth Services. He previously served as Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. Eric is a renowned humanitarian, family doctor, husband and father – and a proud Ontarian with a long and dedicated record of public service. The youngest of five children, Eric was born and raised in the small town of Simcoe in rural southwestern Ontario near the shores of Lake Erie. After finishing his medical studies at McMaster University, and subsequently at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar, Eric spent nearly a decade as a doctor and humanitarian in war-torn regions in Africa and around the world. Eric later served as the senior advisor to then Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy on such issues as human rights, child soldiers, peacekeeping and the landmines ban. Eric Hoskins with his wife, Dr. Samantha Nutt, and their seven-year Together with his wife Dr. Samantha Nutt, the old son, Rhys. two founded the international charity War Child Canada to help hundreds of thousands of children in war-affected regions across the globe. Eric has been recognized for his humanitarian work and public service. In 2008, he was invested as an Officer of the Order of Canada. He has also received the Governor General’s Meritorious Service Cross, and has been awarded the United Nations Lester B. Pearson Peace Medal. 2 RESPECT FOR RURAL ONTARIO I believe that for Ontario to be successful, we need a strong rural voice, strong rural communities, and a strong rural economy. I believe that for the Ontario Liberal Party to be successful, we must respect, reconnect with, and listen to rural Ontario. We must strengthen our Party’s rural roots, and strengthen rural Ontario’s voice in Party decision- making and Party policy. The Liberal Party cannot recede into our urban strongholds; we must build and fortify our rural-urban bridge. My family is deeply rooted in small town Ontario - since before confederation. I grew up in the southwestern Ontario town of Simcoe, near the shores of Lake Erie, and I attended the local public schools there. As a teenager I grew and harvested apples, cherries and peaches. My ancestors were homesteaders and farmers. A century ago, my grandfather came to rural Ontario as a British home child and made the area his home. I am proud of my rural roots and my rural values - hard work, integrity, and the importance of community. I have chosen to release my rural policy first to underscore the importance that I place on rural Ontario and to highlight the place it holds in my heart. I am the leadership candidate who has deep, sustained roots in rural Ontario, and I am committed to building a strong rural Ontario and a strong rural voice within the Ontario Liberal Party. Rural Ontario is about more than agriculture - as important THREE PILLARS as that sector is to all Ontario. Rural Ontario is also small and medium-sized businesses, bustling main streets, vibrant service There are three pillars to my rural policy: clubs and arts organizations. But while much of Ontario has recovered from the recent recession, many parts of the province, 1.

War Child takes an active role in raising public awareness around the impact of war on communities and the shared responsibility to act. War Child Canada Board of Directors Michael Eizenga (Chair) Denise Donlon Nils Engelstad Omar Khan Jeffrey Orridge Elliot Pobjoy All photographs © War Child Canada Cover illustration by Eric Hanson © Eric Hanson Beneficiary names have been changed for their own protection. Letter from the Founder and Chair Dear Friends, To listen to some commentators talk about human rights, you would think that they represent the most restrictive system of regulations, designed to threaten the sovereignty of democratically elected governments. But take a look at the Universal Declaration and the Convention on the Rights of the Child and it is hard to see where the controversy lies. The right to life, liberty and security. The right to freedom from slavery or torture. The right to free expression. The right to an education. The right to be protected from harm. These are not onerous obligations on government but rather the basic protections one should expect, particularly for children, from a functioning state. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is War Child Canada’s guiding document. As you will read in this report, everything we do is in support of the rights enshrined within it. While the Convention is directed at governments, the responsibilities it describes can be equally applied to non-government organizations, community leaders and ordinary citizens.

  • Samantha Nutt, M.D
    Samantha Nutt, M.D. For 15 years, Dr. Samantha Nutt has been at the frontline of many of the world's major crises – from Iraq to Afghanistan, Somalia to the Congo, and Sierra Leone to Darfur. As one of the most original and influential voices in the humanitarian arena, she is a go‐to authority for many of North America's leading media outlets. In 1995, 25‐year‐old Nutt, a recent medical‐school graduate and a field volunteer for UNICEF, touched down in Baidoa, Somalia, "the City of Death." What she saw there – gangs of young men roaming the streets armed with rocket launchers; a woman in a clinic line holding a dead baby; an aid agency working in such an unsafe environment that its workers had to travel with armed escorts high on drugs – would spur her onto a lifetime of passionate advocacy for children and families in war‐torn areas around the world. It also provided the basis for her forthcoming book, Damned Nations: Greed, Guns, Armies, and Aid, a brilliant account of her experiences providing hands‐on care in some of the world's most violent flashpoints while building the world class nonprofit War Child North America. Combining original research with her personal story, the book is a deeply thoughtful meditation on war as it is being waged around the world against millions of civilians – primarily women and children – and an exposé of how we facilitate and fuel these seemingly faraway atrocities. Laying out real solutions to these problems, Dr. Nutt shows how to move beyond outdated notions of charity towards a more progressive, inclusive, and respectful worldview.

    October 26, 2015 The Honourable Kathleen Wynne Premier of Ontario Legislative Building, Queens Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A1 [email protected] Dear Premier Wynne: RE: Northern Ontario Evacuations of First Nations Communities At its meeting held on October 21, 2015, the Board of Health for the Perth District Health Unit considered correspondence forwarded and supported by Peterborough County-City Health Unit (also referencing Sudbury District Board of Health, and the Thunder Bay District Board of Health) regarding evacuations of First Nations communities in Northern Ontario. The member municipalities of the Perth District Health Unit received evacuees from the James Bay area in 2008. The Board of Health remains deeply concerned that the First Nations communities of the James Bay Coast and Northwestern Ontario continue to require close to annual evacuation due to seasonal flooding and forest fires. The Board of Health for the Perth District Health Unit supports the recommendation to address the ongoing lack of resources and infrastructure to ensure the safe, efficient and effective temporary relocation of First Nations communities in Northwestern Ontario and the James Bay coast when they face environmental and weather related threats in the form of seasonal floods and forest fires. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Sincerely, Teresa Barresi, Chair Board of Health, Perth District Health Unit TB/mr Cc: Hon. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Hon. Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Hon. David Zimmer, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs Hon.
