MPP Hon. Michael Gravelle, Thunder Bay-Superior North

Father God thank you for the Honorable Michael Gravelle and his life of service. Thank you for raising him up to serve you as a political leader. Give him your wisdom and compassion and insight into every area he serves in.  Help him to have a personal relationship with you and to be used by you to bring the Kingdom of God where he serves. I pray You would protect him and his family and use them to administer Truth, Righteousness and Justice for your glory sake. Make him a blessing to those he comes in to contact with.

Michael Gravelle was first elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1995. He is currently the Minister of Northern Development and Mines. He previously served as the Minister of Natural Resources from 2011 until 2013 and as the Minister of Northern Development and Mines in 2007, and in 2009, took on the additional portfolio of Forestry.

His vision of four-laning the Trans-Canada Highway from Thunder Bay to Nipigon is becoming reality. He’s played a major role in improving education – including full-day kindergarten, a brand-new high school, the new Faculty of Law and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine at Lakehead University, the new REACH building and expanded programs at Confederation College.  Born in 1949, Michael was raised and educated in Thunder Bay, which he's always been proud to call home.
