As a result of the 2018 election held on June 7th, Doug Ford becomes Ontario's 26th Premier, elected along with a majority government consisting of 76 Progressive Conservative MPPs.
To mark the millennium at the Legislature, two new Latin inscriptions are added to the original series of carvings that grace the Legislative Chamber - Gubernatio bona fructumparit (Good government bears fruit) and Pax sit tempus nostrum (Peace in our time).
With the election of Ontario’s 41st Session of Parliament in June, 2014, more women than at any one time won seats in the Legislature – a total of 38 of 107 MPPs, or 35% of the House.
In use since 1867, the Legislature’s Mace was completely refurbished in 2009 with the addition of 2 diamonds from northern Ontario – a gift of the Debeers Canada company to the people of the province. One polished stone and one rough stone were installed in its crown.
