Minister for a day
A 19-year old political science
student got a real taste of political
life on Jan. 18 when she became
Ontario’s agriculture minister for a
day.
JoAnne Wilhelm, who was rais
ed on a Stratford dairy farm, won
this privilege by winning a public
speaking contest, sponsored by the
ministry, at the Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair in December. “This
will be good experience for Jo-
Anne,” Jack Riddell, Minister of
Agriculture said before turning his
office over. “It will give her an
inside look at agriculture and at a
typical working day in a minister’s
life.” Ms. Wilhelm, whose public
speaking career started when she
was four, says she hopes to apply
her knowledge of agriculture in the
fields of journalism or communica
tions.
The meeting closed with dessert
and tea served by Margaret Short
reed and Viola Kirkby.
