Lumsden Steps Down After Four Years | Canada News

Ontario’s sport minister Neil Lumsden is stepping down from cabinet and politics after four years as MPP for Hamilton East-Stoney Creek, retiring at the start of August. A three-time Grey Cup champion and first elected in 2022, Lumsden praised his team’s commitment to sport and recreation, while Premier Doug Ford lauded his legacy — including helping Toronto host the FIFA World Cup. His exit triggers a third byelection this summer, following recent departures like Caroline Mulroney, and voters in Scarborough Southwest will also head to the polls to replace Doly Begum, who switched to federal politics. Lumsden’s departure marks the end of a notable political and athletic career. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
