Marjorie Knight knows firsthand the struggles that too many Ontarians face every day. She’s experienced the challenges of precarious work, raising a family while navigating poverty, and fighting for a better life. That’s why she’s dedicated her life to standing up for those who are being left behind by systems that don’t work for working people.

A tireless advocate for her community, Marjorie first stepped into politics in 2018 and has been a steadfast voice for change ever since. As a founding member of Rhythm and Blues Cambridge, she’s worked to create opportunities and build stronger connections for Black, Indigenous, and Racialized communities. Her work has earned her the recognition of her peers, including being honoured with the 2024 Woman of Distinction Award by YWCA Cambridge.

Marjorie’s commitment to lifting others up extends into her professional life. She serves as Community Faculty with the Lyle Hallman School of Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University, helping to mentor the next generation of social workers. She also works as a Family Outreach Worker with the House of Friendship, connecting families with the support they need to thrive.

Her leadership doesn’t stop there—Marjorie sits on the boards of the Cambridge Shelter Corporation and ACCKWA, bringing her lived experience and deep passion for community care to the table.

Marjorie believes it’s time for real change in Ontario. She’s ready to fight for affordable housing, better healthcare, and schools that set every child up for success. She knows that when we work together, we can build the Ontario we all deserve.
