Gracious Heavenly Father, I bring before You MPP Daiene Vernile and ask that You would bless her work in the current parliament in the many roles in which she finds herself involved. I pray for strength for the tasks, as well as special knowledge and wisdom that comes from Your hands. May she see Your love being released to those she serves in ways that she has never known before, and may You Peace overwhelm and bless her. Amen.

A compassionate listener and insightful interviewer, Daiene (pronounced Diane) investigated many subjects, including social, cultural, educational, economic, healthcare and other concerns. Now she’s committing herself to directly helping you and advancing local matters at the front line of public service.
For thirty years, Daiene has been an active volunteer and community supporter. She is a strong advocate on women’s issues, passionate champion for social justice, and hands-on volunteer for poverty reduction – including ten years at the St. John’s Kitchen helping prepare meals.
Daiene is among Wilfrid Laurier University’s “100 Alumni of Achievement” who inspire lives of leadership and purpose. She began her career as a Queens Park legislature reporter, expanded her journalism skills in Texas, and returned home to Ontario, spearheading one of Canada’s longest running public affairs programs.
With husband John, she spent three decades in Kitchener and welcomed firstborn Andrew while refurbishing a century old home in the downtown. The household grew to include Curtis and Claire in the Forest Hill neighbourhood. Today, with the family grown, Daiene is re-dedicating her energy to helping people across the community through this form of public service.
