Trevor Stewart

Public Affairs Counsellor

Trevor Stewart is a dedicated community leader with a passion for public service and has more than a decade of experience at the municipal, provincial and federal levels of government. 

Born and raised in Hammond, Ont., Stewart began his political involvement at the age of 16 and has since held numerous leadership positions that have shaped policy, strengthened communities, and advanced the interests of official language minority populations. 

A strong champion for the Franco-Ontarien community, he is the founder and president of Le Front Culturel Franco-Ontarien and was instrumental in organizing against the provincial cuts made to French-language services during Black Thursday. His leadership helped raise public awareness, which resulted in the reinstatement of funding for l’Université de l’Ontario Français. 

In 2022, he ran for and won a seat on Clarence-Rockland’s city council representing over 3,000 residents in the villages of Hammond and Cheney in Ward 7. During his tenure as a councillor, he oversaw a budget of over $61 million, found solutions to a variety of municipal and administrative issues for constituents and championed increased road infrastructure, francophone representation and the interests of rural people. As councillor, he helped secure more than $2 million in road infrastructure improvements within Hammond and Cheney, initiated plans to renovate the local community centre and secured yearly funding to local social clubs like the Hammond Optimiste Club.

Trevor has served multiple roles on Parliament Hill since 2019, including a brief tenure at the Prime Minister’s Office in 2021. He most recently served as the Executive Assistant for Francis Drouin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, where he managed stakeholder relations, assisted local organizations and businesses with obtaining government funding and supported constituents with IRCC applications, CRA notices, and interactions with various government agencies. 

He previously worked for multiple official language minority not-for-profit organizations.

Trevor holds a bachelor’s degree in conflict studies and human rights from the University of Ottawa.
