Heavenly Father, we lift Hon Marie-France Lalonde to you today. We thank you for her track record of service and care in her community. You have continued to raise her up for such a time as this. Give her wisdom beyond her years and experience, as she moves forward in serving our communities.
Marie-France Lalonde was first elected to the Ontario legislature in 2014 as the MPP for Ottawa-Orléans.
Lalonde currently serves as Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, and as Minister Responsible for Francophone Affairs. She was previously Minister of Government and Consumer Services. Prior to that, she was Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure, focusing on economic development, and to the Minister Responsible for Francophone Affairs.

Throughout the last decade, Marie-France continued her career in caring for people and became the co-owner and executive director of the Portobello Manor in Orléans. Ms Lalonde opened Portobello Manor in 2008 to not only effect change in the community, but to address a growing need for long term and senior care. During her career at the Portobello Manor, Lalonde’s work and passion in senior care led to her receiving the 2010 New Business of the Year Award from the Orléans Chamber of Commerce. In 2013, Portobello Manor was recognized as the Community Service Business of the Year at the 2013 Orléans Business Excellence Awards.
