Today is Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - a time to remember the children who never returned home and to honour Survivors and their families.

Reconciliation is rooted in the courage to listen, the humility to acknowledge past and ongoing harms, and an unwavering commitment to upholding the truth while confronting denialism in all forms.

Congratulations to Ontario’s new Minister of Sport! We look forward to working with you.

I am incredibly honoured to join Premier Ford’s Cabinet and serve as Ontario’s Minister of Sport.

Sport brings people together, builds stronger communities and creates opportunities for people of all ages. I’m excited to get to work and help more Ontario families experience everything sport has to offer.

Thank you to Minister Neil Lumsden for his service and leadership. I’m proud to build on his work and keep moving sport forward across our province.
