To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Gary Malkowski’s election to the Ontario Provincial Parliament, the biography Deaf Politician – The Gary Malkowski is now available as a paperback book and an ebook on Amazon.
Deaf Politician – The Gary Malkowski Story
“How in the world did a deaf guy become an elected politician?” That’s the question almost everyone has when they meet Gary Malkowski and learn that he served as a Member of the Ontario Provincial Parliament in the early 1990s.
This biography of Malkowski answers all the questions about his early life in Canada and how he came to be a political leader representing thousands of East York (Toronto) residents in Ontario’s provincial parliament.
Deaf Politician follows Gary from being born deaf into an immigrant, working-class family in Hamilton, Ontario through his education at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC to his community activism and political career in Toronto.
This is an inspiring tale of grit and determination.
