As members of Friends of Kathleen Wynne, Diane Oleskiw and Jennifer Scott hosted a fundraiser in support of the Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) on April 26. The event was held in the sunny offices of Scott + Oleskiw (Suite 235) with over sixty people sipping wine and catching up on Kathleen's activities.
Kathleen Wynne cares passionately about the issue of women's participation in government. As a long-time politician she has watched Canada's early success with electing women to parliament plummet and is very concerned that we now stand in forty second place globally. She "believes it's time to reverse this trend and to expand the dialogue about how to make real electoral change in our city, in our province, and in our country."
Scott + Oleskiw is a law firm that focuses on issues related to women and human rights. Diane Oleskiw practices feminist criminal law and Jennifer Scott practices human rights, constitutional and education law. Special guest Marie Bountrogianni, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Democratic Renewal was also in attendance at the event to discuss the implications of electoral reform. Kathleen is now heading into preparations for re-election in 2007.
