I want girls and women across Ontario to have strong, positive role models in every level of government.” – Kathleen Wynne

Since being sworn in on February 2013 as Ontario’s 25th Premier, Kathleen Wynne has introduced a new tone to government.

Her government is guided by the desire for fairness, collaboration and real progress.

Since joining the ‘Caps organization in 2003, and through her previous experience in the sports management industry, Rachel has learned the importance of collaboration and the impact it has on and off the field.
