| Info | Garfield Dunlop is currently MPP for Simcoe North, and Community Safety and Correctional Services Critic for the Official Opposition. He has been re-nominated as the PC Party Candidate for this riding in the coming General Election, October 2007.
Garfield was first elected to the Ontario Legislature on June 3, 1999 and has served as Chief Whip of the Official Opposition.
Previously, he served in government as Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Education and Government House Leader from March 2001 until April 2002. He was then appointed by Premier Ernie Eves as Parliamentary Assistant to the Premier and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. Garfield also served as Deputy Assistant Whip from 1999 to 2003.
After attending elementary and secondary school in Simcoe North, and university in Waterloo, Garfield entered the family business, Glen Dunlop Plumbing, Heating and Supplies Ltd., in 1971. The company is a retail and contracting business, serving northern Simcoe County and south Muskoka since 1995.
In 1980, Garfield began a career in municipal politics, when he was elected councillor for the Village of Coldwater. From 1982 until 1994, he was reeve of the Village.
In 1994, after the County of Simcoe was restructured, Garfield became deputy mayor of the Township of Severn , where he served until the 1999 provincial election. He was Warden of Simcoe County in 1998, overseeing the Local Services Realignment, and chaired the planning services committee, which, between 1995 and 1997, developed the County of Simcoe official plan.
Garfield and his wife, the former Jane Taylor, are involved in many local organizations. In particular, they initiated the original town hall meeting, which resulted in the purchase of Coldwater's historic gristmill, saving it from demolition.
He and his wife were married in 1975 and have two grown children, Andrew and Jill. Jill is married to Derek Rynard. They also have three granddaughters, Rachel, Karley and Madison.
