Background
Bountrogianni was born in Hamilton, Ontario,[1] the daughter of Greek immigrants. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Waterloo in 1979, a Master of Education degree from the University of Toronto in 1980, and a Doctor of Education degree from the latter institution in 1983.[2]
She became a registered psychologist in 1985, and was employed in psychological work at the Toronto Board of Education from 1984 to 1988. From 1989 to 1999, she was Chief Psychologist of the Hamilton Board of Education. Bountrogianni also served as an Assistant Professor at Wilfrid Laurier University from 1985 to 1987, and McMaster University from 1992 to 1999, and was the Vice-Chair of St. Peter's Hospital in Hamilton from 1995 to 1999. In 1997, she was hired by the European Union to evaluate proposals for graduate school funding. Locally, she has also served as an honorary co-Chair of Hamilton & Bay AIDSwalk and Grace Haven Capital Campaign. She is a director at Northland Power Inc. and sits on the board of the Democracy Study Center in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Politics
Provincial
Bountrogianni ran for the Ontario legislature in the 1995 provincial election, as a Liberal candidate in the riding of Hamilton Mountain. She finished ahead of incumbent New Democrat Brian Charlton, but 1028 votes behind the winner, Progressive Conservative Trevor Pettit.[3]
Bountrogianni ran against Pettit again in the 1999 provincial election. There was some uncertainty in the riding as to whether Bountrogianni or NDP candidate Chris Charlton (wife of Brian) would have a better chance of defeating Pettit. Charlton received some union support but the teachers and the building trades backed Bountrogianni.[4] As it happened, Bountrogianni was able to defeat Pettit by over 2500 votes, with Charlton finishing third.[5] The Progressive Conservatives won the election, and Bountrogianni became the opposition critic for Colleges and Universities as well as Women's Issues.[6] In 2002, she was named Woman of the Year in Politics by the Hamilton Status of Women Committee.[7]
Bountrogianni was re-elected in the 2003 election, in which the Liberals won a majority.[8] On October 23, 2003, she was named Minister of Children's Services and Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.[9]
In October 2004, Bountrogianni introduced and stewarded the passage of the AODA, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act[10] After a cabinet shuffle on June 29, 2005, Bountrogianni was named Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister responsible for Democratic Renewal.[11]
She decided not to run for re-election in 2007, and was succeeded by another Liberal, Sophia Aggelonitis.[12]
