Kathryn Shailer is the Ontario NDP candidate for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex, ready to champion the fight for an easier and more affordable life.
With strong roots in Alvinston, an extensive educational background, and leadership roles in various Canadian post-secondary institutions, Kathryn is uniquely prepared to address the needs of Lambton-Kent-Middlesex. With her experience, compassion, and sincerity, she is the advocate the community deserves at Queen’s Park.
In her community, Kathryn is a driving force for positive change. She has been involved with the Brooke-Alvinston Optimist Club, takes active roles in Friends of Campbell Park, and the Lawrence House Centre for the Arts. She also orchestrates the Alvinston Arts & Music Festival and extends her impact through initiatives like the Community Friendship Meals at Bothwell United Church. Her diverse contributions are all focused on building stronger, more caring communities in Lambton-Kent-Middlesex.
Kathryn has played a pivotal role in organizing the NDP’s federal and provincial campaign committees. Alongside Marit Stiles and the Ontario NDP Caucus, she’s ready to deliver solutions for faster, better, publicly-funded, and publicly-delivered health care. She’s ready to tackle the cost-of-living crisis, fight for good jobs with better wages, and push for stronger investments in education, housing, and environmental sustainability.
After 5 long years under Ford’s Conservatives, working Ontarians are grappling with tougher living conditions, overshadowed by government corruption and policies skewed towards insiders and corporate gains. That’s why Kathryn is committed to bringing transparency, accountability, and integrity back to Queen’s Park, and it’s why she’s stepping up as the Ontario NDP candidate for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex.
Kathryn calls Alvinston home, where she cherishes life as a mother of two and a grandmother of three.
