Congratulations, Minister @ZeeInMilton, on your appointment as Ontario’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming.
Félicitations pour votre nomination à titre de ministre du Tourisme, de la Culture et des Jeux de l’Ontario. Au plaisir de collaborer avec vous!
I'm honoured to share that I've been appointed Ontario's Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming.
Thank you to Premier @FordNation for this vote of confidence. I take this responsibility seriously, and I'm excited to get to work supporting the businesses, artists, communities, and visitors who make Ontario such a remarkable place.
I also want to thank Solicitor General @TeamKerzner for his leadership and support during my time as Associate Solicitor General. It was a privilege to work alongside him and an incredible team whose professionalism and dedication made every day meaningful. I'm proud of what we accomplished together.
To the colleagues, partners, and stakeholders who supported that work: thank you.
A new chapter starts today. Let's get to work!
