Constituency week brought a definite change in the pace here at Queen’s Park. The first few weeks in Kevin’s office were fairly hectic as we set out to arrange an innovative and groundbreaking project for the months ahead. That involved a lot of time on the phone talking to stakeholders about what we are proposing. This week was [...]

Kevin Flynn’s Office
Posted in Placements, Thomas Maidwell on March 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It has been an interesting and fast-paced week in Kevin’s office. I have to say that working for a government MPP is really very different to working for an opposition MPP; the resources available to government members, in terms of sheer numbers of staff, means that it was always going to be harder to define [...]
Visiting Leeds-Grenville

I had an absolutely wonderful trip to Steve’s riding, Leeds-Grenville, in eastern Ontario last week. The highlight of the week was presenting our proposals for democratic reform to a town hall meeting of constituents in Brockville on Wednesday evening. The presentation went well, we received positive feedback regarding our proposals and I even made the [...]
Progressive Conservative Christmas party

On Wednesday night Erica, Bryan and I were fortunate enough to attend the Progressive Conservative Christmas party in Toronto. Most, if not all, of the PC MPPs were in attendance which was exciting as it gave us a chance to socialise with them outside of the fishbowl that is Queen’s Park. I was fortunate enough [...]

The trip to Quebec City and Ottawa was a fascinating and exciting experience. Instead of giving you a vague oversight of the entire week I will share with you a few of my most interesting experiences. My favourite meeting in Quebec City was with Alexandre Cloutier, the Parti Quebecois depute from Lac-Saint-Jean. Mr. Cloutier is [...]

This week has been another interesting and exciting week in Steve’s office. The work we have been doing on democratic reform is moving forward nicely and I look forward to continuing work on this portfolio during my remaining time with Steve. On Tuesday we met with a member of staff from the Leader’s office to [...]
Working with Steve Clark

My first week in Progressive Conservative MPP Steve Clark’s office has gone swimmingly. With it being constituency week, Mr Clark has been away from the office and in his riding of Leeds-Grenville. That being said, Mr Clark has been in contact a few times to make sure I am settling in and setting me away [...]

After month of meetings and interviews, orientation finally came to an end on Friday. It has been really exciting and interesting to meet with so many high level political and commercial figures. Having said that, I think it is fair to say that we are all really excited to begin working for our member’s next week. [...]
