From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trevor Pettit (born March 14, 1951 in Hamilton, Ontario) is a politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Ontario legislature from 1995 to 1999.

Before entering politics, Pettit was the North American sales director of Valley City Manufacturing Co. He was elected to the provincial legislature in the 1995 provincial election, defeating future Liberal cabinet minister Marie Bountrogianni by 1,028 votes. Incumbent New Democrat Brian Charlton finished third.

Pettit was a backbench supporter of Mike Harris's government during his time in the legislature. He advocated the amalgamation of Hamilton with neighbouring municipalities, a policy initiative which was passed during the Harris government's second term.

Pettit lost to Bountrigianni by about 2,500 votes in the 1999 provincial election. He has not campaigned for political office since this time.

He endorsed Frank Klees for the leadership of the Ontario PC Party in 2004.
