BIOGRAPHY
John and
his wife Ria have owned and operated a dairy and crop farm outside of Earlton
Ontario since 1984. He was elected in Oct 2011 to represent the riding of
Timiskaming Cochrane.
The
Vanthofs have four children, three of whom are currently in university.
John’s
public service career started with his election to the Temiskaming Dairy
Producer Committee on which he has served for over twenty years including
several years as Chairman. In 2004, John was elected for a term to the Board of
Dairy Farmers of Ontario. John was DFO Director when Thornloe Cheese was
threatened with closure and played a key role in its rebirth.
John also
served on municipal council for twelve years, but he is most widely recognized
for his ten year term as President of the Temiskaming Federation of
Agriculture. During that time, the Federation represented the agricultural
community in some key issues most notably the Adams Mine Landfill debate. The
critical analysis of the Ministry of Environment’s approval, commissioned by
the Federation, was one of the catalysts that stopped the project.
John was
a member of the Board of Directors for the 2009 International Plowing Match.
His main responsibility was the student educational program for the Match. He
also sat on the Board of the Englehart and District Hospital, and the
fundraising committee for the Englehart Family Health Clinic and was vice chair
of the Temiskaming Foundation.
His
hobbies include riding his motorcycle and avoiding rocks on Lake Wendigo.
