David Lloyd Johnston
Johnston was born and raised in Ontario, studying there before enrolling at Harvard University and later Cambridge and Queen's universities. He went on to work as a professor at various post-secondary institutions in Canada, eventually serving administrative roles as dean of law at the University of Western Ontario, principal of McGill University, and president of the University of Waterloo. At the same time, Johnston involved himself with politics and public service, moderating political debates and chairing commissions in both the federal and provincial spheres, his most renowned position in that field being the chairmanship of the inquiry into the Airbus affair. He was in 2010 appointed as governor general by then monarch Queen Elizabeth II, on the recommendation of then Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper, to replace Michaëlle Jean as viceroy[3] and he occupied the post until succeeded by Julie Payette in 2017.
Johnston also served as a teacher of law at various Canadian universities, dean of law at
Early life and education
Johnston was born on June 28, 1941, in Sudbury, Ontario,[4][5] to Lloyd Johnston, the owner of a hardware store,[6] and Dorothy Stonehouse. He attended Sault Collegiate Institute in Sault Ste. Marie, where he played quarterback for the football team[7] and under-17 hockey with future National Hockey League (NHL) members Phil and Tony Esposito[8] and Lou Nanne.[7] Johnston aimed to play in the NHL himself and was visited by scout Jimmy Skinner. However, upon learning from Skinner that most boys drafted would not be completing high school, Johnston's mother refused to negotiate further.[7]
Johnston graduated high school and moved on to Harvard University in 1959,[9][10] earning his Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, in 1963.[4] While at Harvard, under the coaching of Cooney Weiland, Johnston captained the varsity ice hockey team, was twice selected to the All-America team,[11] and met and befriended Erich Segal,[12] the two becoming jogging partners.[9] In 1970, Segal wrote the best-selling novel Love Story, basing a character in the book—Davey, a captain of the hockey team—on Johnston.[6][11] Johnston suffered three concussions from playing football and hockey; he was told by his doctor to either wear a helmet (at a time when they were unpopular) or stop playing hockey.[13]
Upon completing his degree at Harvard, Johnston again looked at an NHL career, contemplating attending the Boston Bruins training camp.[7][14] Instead, he attended Trinity Hall, Cambridge, obtaining a Bachelor of Laws with honours in 1965, and another with first class honours from Queen's University in 1966.[4] During that period, Johnston married his high school sweetheart, Sharon, with whom he has five daughters.[15][6] Johnston was hired by Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt, but never worked for the firm, instead taking a one-year leave of absence, which continues to today.[7]
Academic career
Johnston has had a long academic career, during which he came to specialize in
It was also during Johnston's time at McGill, in 1981, that he went on the first of what would be a dozen visits to China as a university president.[17][18][19][20] At an Innovation Forum held at Nanking University on 21 October, 2013, Johnston described "Nanjing University [as his] second home and [his] home away from home."[19]
Johnston stepped down in 1994 as principal of McGill to remain at the university only as a law professor until he was, in 1999, installed as the fifth President of the University of Waterloo. During that period, the couple acquired a home in Heidelberg, Ontario,[21] and began operating an adjacent horse training ranch, Chatterbox Farm.[22] Johnston, in 2006, along with Jim Balsillie and the Mayor of Waterloo, established a Waterloo Steering Committee to "educate business leaders, academics, and citizens about the challenges Waterloo faces and engage them in setting goals for educational achievement, access to services, investment in infrastructure, and social inclusion."[23] At the university, Johnston forged academic exchanges with universities and technological institutes.[24][25] With his "strong support",[26][27] the University of Waterloo established a Confucius Institute and Sino-Canadian College in partnership with Nanjing University in 2005.[28][29][30][31]
Boards, commissions, and media (until 2010)
Johnston has moderated several televised

As Governor General-designate
On July 8, 2010, the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada announced that Queen Elizabeth II had approved Prime Minister Stephen Harper's recommendation of Johnston to succeed Michaëlle Jean as the Queen's representative.[49][50]
A special search committee convened by the Prime Minister recommended Johnston for the viceregal position; the group was headed by Sheila-Marie Cook,
The appointment was widely praised, its announcement garnering positive words from individuals like former University of Toronto president
The press in Quebec generally focused on Johnston's ties to McGill University and his prominent role during the 1995 Quebec referendum. The president of Quebec's Conseil de la souveraineté, Gérald Larose, declared Johnston to be an "adversary" of Quebec independence and Mario Beaulieu, head of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society, called the nomination of Johnston "partisan" and the governor general-designate himself a "federalist extremist",[47] statements that columnist Richard Martineau criticized for creating a "fake scandal", since any Governor General of Canada would advocate for Canadian unity.[47] In addition, Johnston's low profile was expected to result in less criticism directed at the governor general's office, compared to his two predecessors.[56]
The Queen issued on September 3, 2010, under the royal sign-manual and Great Seal of Canada, her commission naming Johnston as her next Canadian representative and,[57] three days later, Johnston attended an audience with the Queen during a two-day stay at Balmoral Castle. At that time he was invested by the monarch as a Commander of both the Order of Military Merit and Order of Merit of the Police Forces.[58] Johnston then announced to the media that there would be a theme to his installation ceremony: A call to service; he elaborated: "This theme of service echoes that of Her Majesty the Queen's 2010 visit 'Honouring the Canadian Record of Service—Past, Present and Future,' and illustrates how the governor general exemplifies the Canadian value of service to community and country."[59]

In keeping with his focus on education, the Governor General, beginning in his early months in office and continuing throughout his time there, visited a number of universities across Canada, attending conferences, delivering lectures, and speaking at convocations.[73][74][75] He also carried this theme on during his state and official visits to foreign countries, including in his itinerary, among other events, tours of early education facilities, delivering addresses at universities and colleges, and meetings with economic and social development groups, as well as education ministers.[13][76][77] He was also sometimes accompanied by Canadian university and college presidents.[13]

Columnist John Robson said Johnston displayed a "manifest sympathy for aboriginal causes".
Education promotion and charitable foundations
Johnston was credited with encouraging his Prime Minister to reinvigorate the federal government's promotion of international educational cooperation. Johnston was advised by Harper to lead an Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada to Brazil in 2012 to participate in a hemispheric conference on international education, hoping it would "lead to more Brazilians choosing Canada as their preferred place to conduct research and study."[104]
As part of his efforts to promote education and research, Johnston, beginning in 2012, annually hosted the
In late 2016, the Governor General hosted a conference on concussions, declaring head injuries in sports to be a "public health issue",
Continued viceregal service
On March 19, 2013, Johnston headed the official Canadian delegation for the
Johnston accepted an invitation, offered in March 2015, to stay in the viceregal office until September 2017.[110] This was considered desirable in order to ensure that an experienced viceroy was in-place should the 2015 Canadian federal election result in a minority government or otherwise be inconclusive.[111][112] By the end of his tenure, Johnston became the longest-serving governor general since Georges Vanier.[113] It was also thought worthwhile for Johnston to remain in office for the Canada 150 celebrations.[7]
As part of his viceregal duties, Johnston undertook two state visits to China, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The first, in October 2013, came shortly after Xi had become president, and overlapped with visits by cabinet ministers, and was aimed at smoothing relations and promoting the government's economic agenda.[114][115] During the trip, Johnston also met with several Chinese officials, including Premier Li Keqiang, to discuss ways to deepen educational and cultural ties between Canada and China.[116][117] The second, in July 2017, was part of a goodwill mission ahead of exploratory trade talks.[115][118][119] His second trip received criticism from journalists, as it happened while Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo died in custody.[119][120] Johnston stated to CTV News after the 2017 visit that he had discussed the matter of Liu and human rights with Xi.[115]
As governor general, Johnston hosted over 600 events at either Rideau Hall or La Citadelle and, as commander-in-chief, attended 330 military events. Within Canada, Johnston visited more than 130 communities and, as part of the country's international relations, he led more than 50 international visits, making him the most travelled governor general in Canadian history. Conversely, he hosted approximately five dozen foreign dignitaries on state and working visits to Canada. The Governor General delivered over 1,400 speeches and awarded tens of thousands of honours, medals, and special commemorations and welcomed 1.5 million Canadians to Rideau Hall and the Citadel.[7]
Legacy as Governor General
On September 27, 2017, in the week of his departure, Johnston presided over a military farewell ceremony and military parade by a 100-man guard of honour from the Canadian Armed Forces at the Aviation and Space Museum.[121] There, he stated, "serving as governor general is a responsibility I have cherished for the past seven years. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to give back to this country I love so much."[122] A few days before Johnston completed his service, Trudeau described him as a family friend, "a man of strength, intelligence and compassion."[123][124] The Government of Canada will donate $3 million, and up to $7 million in matching funds over 10 years, to the Rideau Hall Foundation, a charity founded by Johnston.[122] Its goal, he said, "is to gather, align and mobilize ideas, people and resources to move the Canadian spirit and our shared aspirations forward".[125]
Post viceregal career
Shortly after the end of his viceregal tenure, Johnston joined the consulting firm Deloitte as an executive advisor.[127] Johnston also holds a volunteer position as chair of the Rideau Hall Foundation, the charity he established in 2012.[127] Johnston has been a member of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation since 2018.[128] Johnston was appointed colonel of the Royal Canadian Regiment on August 4, 2018, succeeding Major-General (Retired) J. Ivan Fenton.[129]
In October 2018, Johnston was nominated to be the first commissioner of the

Arms
The unicorns symbolize dreams, imagination, purity and faithfulness, and their colour stands for Canada. The astrolabe is a reference to intellectual exploration and the rich background of Canadian explorers going back to Jacques Cartier. Their winged feet are traditionally attributed to Hermes. In addition to alluding to communication (also referred to in the zeros and ones, more specifically referring to digital media), they also evoke fitness and sports. The binary code reflects the flow of information in modern society.[204] The Motto is an allusion to a line in George Bernard Shaw's Back to Methuselah ("You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'"). |
