Statement from Andrea Horwath on Cheri DiNovo

Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath issued the following statement regarding NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo’s announcement that she will be stepping down as MPP for Parkdale-High Park as of January 1, 2018: “Today, my friend and fellow New Democrat Cheri DiNovo let the people of Ontario know that she has been called to return to ministry in the new year.  Cheri’s faith and passion for ministry helped shape her into the devoted community organizer and social justice activist she is today. As an MPP, Cheri has been a tireless advocate for her community, for LGBTQ2SI Ontarians, and a very effective legislator. She has been a voice for many Ontarians who might otherwise have felt voiceless, and she will be missed in the legislature. On behalf of all New Democrats, I would like to extend thanks to Cheri for her years of service to Ontarians, and to the NDP, and best wishes as she prepares for an exciting new chapter in her life.”
