Veteran journalist and long-time advocate David Onley was appointed as Ontario's next lieutenant-governor on Tuesday.

Onley, who was stricken with polio as a child, said his first priority during his term will be to secure rights for the disabled.

"I wish to provide a unique and timely mandate for Ontario. I will advance the cause of accessibility. First, merely because of my physical limitations and second, through the role of the lieutenant governor, I will be an encouraging model I know for disabled people in general," Onley said during a press conference at Variety Village on Danforth Avenue Tuesday.

"Most Ontarians already understand the importance of improved accessibility, but they are looking for both direction and encouragement. Well here it comes. Standards and regulations will occur."

  1. The day of the Royals are long gone. Are we not a nation of freemen. These lieutenant governors are just a place the government leaders to stick rich party patriots. The government cries out for more tax money. To help in health care and education but when they get it. It have to go to OTHERTHINGS.They tell us we need a figure head what is the Premiers and Prime Minister then. The time for eliminating double services are long over due. Realty eliminate the fat. If they are not elected by the people they sould not be able to represent the people.


  2. Good to see queen.

    Regards
