Timeline

1945

Donna H. Cansfield, (born c. 1945) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada.

Cansfield was born in Alberta in 1945.

Prior to entering politics she was a homemaker, raising two children with her husband Bill.

They live in central Etobicoke.

1988

In 1988, Cansfield was elected to the Etobicoke Board of Education.

During her tenure she served as president of the Ontario Public School Boards' Association and later as president of the Canadian School Boards Association.

1997

She lost this position in 1997 when Ontario withdrew from the national association.

In November 1997 she was elected trustee as a member of the newly amalgamated Toronto District School Board.

2001

In December 2001 she was elected by a vote of 12–10 as president of the school board beating her rival Kathleen Wynne.

2002

This came about because the board was deeply split by the province's takeover of the school board in 2002 by superintendent Paul Christie.

The province took this action because the board could not balance its budget.

2003

She was a Liberal member in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 2003 to 2014 representing the riding of Etobicoke Centre.

In January 2003 Cansfield agreed to share the board chair position with Shelley Carroll.

The dual chair position was to remain in place until the following election in November 2003.

However, Cansfield resigned her position as co-chair four months later in order to focus on her run as a candidate in the 2003 provincial election.

She retained her position as trustee.

While there was some perception that Cansfield had centre-right or conservative views, she opted to run as the Liberal candidate in the riding of Etobicoke Centre in the 2003 election.

Her decision to run for the Liberals rather than the Conservatives may have been driven by her distaste for the way that the Ernie Eves government had dealt with the budget crisis of the Toronto District School Board.

She said, "I do not see a light at the end of the tunnel with this government. I'm tired of people not standing up and saying, 'I believe in public education.'" She based her campaign on improvements to the education system and handily beat Conservative rival Rose Andrachuk by 4,460 votes.

Cansfield was appointed Parliamentary Assistant (PA) to Energy Minister Dwight Duncan on 23 October 2003.

2005

She was appointed as Minister of Energy on 11 October 2005 when Duncan was named as Minister of Finance.

2006

She was reassigned as Minister of Transportation on 23 May 2006, when Duncan returned to Energy.

2010

After the 2007 election, Cansfield became Ontario's Minister of Natural Resources, where she served until 18 January 2010.

Premier McGuinty appointed Cansfield as PA to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing after the January 2010 cabinet shuffle.

2011

In 2011, she was appointed as PA to the Minister of Economic Development and Innovation and in 2012 as PA to the Minister of Finance.

2013

In February 2013 as part of the Wynne government, she was appointed as chief government whip.

2014

Cansfield left provincial politics after she declined to seek another term in the 2014 Ontario election.
