Dr. Eric Hoskins is a renowned humanitarian, practising family doctor, loving husband and father—and a proud Ontarian. He is running as the provincial Liberal candidate in St. Paul’s.

Eric has a long and dedicated record of public service. After finishing his medical studies at McMaster and Oxford, he spent more than a decade doing humanitarian work as a doctor in war-torn regions. He later advised then-Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy on such issues as human rights, the landmines ban, child soldiers, peacekeeping, and Africa. Struck by his overseas experiences, Eric co-founded the international charity War Child Canada to help children in war-affected regions.

For his dedication and service, Eric has received awards and accolades such as the Order of Canada and the United Nations Lester B. Pearson Peace Medal. He was also recognized as one of Canada’s five leading activists by Time magazine.

In addition to his duties with War Child, Eric continues to practice medicine at a downtown health clinic. He sees first-hand the challenges that families in our community face.

Eric is married to Dr. Samantha Nutt, and they have a four-year old son, Rhys.
