This morning the party revealed that Heather Hay will represent them when voters head to the polls on Sept. 20.
According to a press release issued today, Hay is a human rights activist who has built strong networks and communities locally and nationally. As the Coordinator for Elder Abuse Prevention Muskoka, she is committed to creating a poverty-free and age-friendly Muskoka. Her human rights work began during the 80’s as a founding member of Out North in Yellowknife and more recently she served as President of Fierté Canada Pride, the national association of Canadian Pride organizations, where she coordinated conferences and events..
After 20 years of community building and teaching in communities throughout the NWT and Nunavut, Hay returned to Gravenhurst and built a home for herself on the family farm. She has a Bachelor of Education and wrote a weekly column providing support to seniors and caregivers called “Caring through Ages and Stages.”
Starting on August 25, Hay will host zoom meet-ups every Wednesday at 7pm until the election.
