William "Bill" John Vankoughnet was born on January 7th, 1943 in Kingston, Ontario. Bill has had a prolific political career beginning with his election as the MP for the Hastings-Frontenac riding between 1979 and 1984 for the Progressive-Conservative Party. He followed this with a two-time re-election into the MP position for the newly created Hastings-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington riding between 1984 and 1993 for the Canada PC party. Two years later in 1995 he was elected into the provincial government as the Ontario PC party MPP for the Frontenac-Addington riding until 1999.
