| Info | Once noted as Canada’s youngest mayor at the age of 25, Steve Peters was elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1999 and re-elected in 2003. He served as Minister of Agriculture and Food from 2003-2005 and in June 2005 he was appointed Minister of Labour.
Prior to his provincial nomination, Steve was first elected to St. Thomas Council as an Alderman in 1988 while he was employed as a stock clerk at a downtown A&P store. He was still working at A&P when he was elected to his first term as mayor of St. Thomas in 1991.
Steve was re-elected mayor in both 1994 and 1997. As mayor, Steve served on all city committees and many outside boards and agencies.
When not hard at work for his constituents, Steve enjoys gardening and pursuing his other passion, local history. Steve is considered one of the foremost experts on Elgin County history and is a collector of Elgin memorabilia, notably items associated with Jumbo, the giant circus elephant that was struck and killed by a train in St. Thomas in 1885.
Steve is a graduate of Arthur Voaden Secondary School in St. Thomas and the University of Western Ontario, where he earned his B.A.
Born in St. Thomas in 1963 to Joan and Percy Peters, both children of Ukrainian immigrants, Steve is proud of his heritage.
