On this episode, Karen McCrimmon and I sit down in her provincial MPP office to discuss her journey of service. Karen grew up in communities across Ontario - Toronto, Timmins, and Windsor - and was active in both cadets and the Army reserves during her youth. After completing her undergraduate degree at the University of Windsor, she enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces and was the first women to qualify as an air navigator. She spent most of her career in air operations and hung up her flight suit after 26 years. However, her retirement didn't last long and she decided to continue to serve via politics - first as a federal MP and then as a provincial MPP. Her road to the house of commons started through local volunteering and grew to a point where she ran to be the leader of the federal Liberal Party. There is no doubt Karen is passionate about service and taking care of her fellow citizens.
