Senator Rosemary Moodie

In December 2018, I was appointed to the Senate of Canada and now sit as an Independent Senator for Ontario.

Born and raised in Jamaica, I moved to Canada to further my medical studies, specializing in pediatrics and neonatology. Since then, I have spent over three decades working as a medical doctor, caring for children and youth.

As a pediatrician and neonatologist, children and youth have been at the centre of my work and focus for decades. When I was appointed to the Senate in 2018, I carried this focus with me. As a Senator, I continue to advocate for children and youth and promote equal opportunity and inclusion for all.
