He was made a Viscount after he moved to Britain in 1939. "The KING has been graciously pleased on the occasion of the celebration of His Majesty's Birthday to signify his intention of conferring Peerages of the United Kingdom on the following: To be Viscount: "The Right Honourable Richard Bedford BENNETT, LL.D., D.C.L., J.P. " Richard Bedford Bennett, 1st Viscount Bennett He was born on 3 July 1870 in Hopewell Hill, New Brunswick and grew up in nearby Hopewell Cape. He attended law school at Dalhousie University in 1890 and graduated in 1893. He then worked as a lawyer in Chatham, N.B. Max Aitken was his office boy. He moved to Calgary in 1897 to work with Sir James Lougheed. He was first elected to the Northwest Territories Government for Calgary East in 1898 through to the general election of 1902. He resigned his seat to run in the Federal Election in 1901, lost that election and won the by-election in 1901 to replace himself. He was elected in 1911 to represent Calgary in the Federal Parliament but did not run in 1917. He ran in the 1925 election and was briefly the Minister of Finance in Meighan’s government. After Meighan’s defeat, he became the leader of the Conservative Government. He became the 11 th Prime Minister of Canada from 07 August 1930 to 23 October 1935, the heart of the Great Depression. After being defeated in 1935, he moved to England in 1938 and died there on 26 June 1947. He is the only Canadian Prime Minister not buried in Canada. He was elevated to the peerage as Viscount Bennett in 1941. Being a bachelor, he had no heirs and thus the Viscountcy became extinct on his death. He was the Honorary Colonel of The Calgary Highlanders from the year of their designation as such in 1921 to his death in 1947. He was a controlling owner of the E.B. Eddy match company, which was the largest safety match manufacturer in Canada, and he was one of the richest Canadians at that time. ======================================================================================== ======================================================================================== 3 V I S C O U N T Appointed by the British Government to a person born in Canada 13/02/1937+ GREENWOOD, Thomas Hamar (formerly Thomas Hubbard) Chief Secretary for Ireland Viscount Greenwood of Holbourne Born: 07 February 1870, Whitby, Ontario Father: John Hamar Greenwood; Welshman Emigrated: To Canada in the Whitby area in 1850 at age 21 Lawyer – He became the Mayor of Whitby, Ontario Name Change: Thomas Hubbard Greenwood changed his middle name to Hamar New Name: Thus he became Thomas Hamar Greenwood and he went by Hamar Greenwood Educated: Whitby Collegiate University of Toronto – BA Honours in Political Science Cdn Military: 2nd Lieutenant in the 34 th Ontario Battalion of Infantry Now the Ontario Regiment Royal Canadian Armoured Corps Emigrated: To England in 1895 Occupation: Teacher in Manchester Temperance Speaker He was involved in a serious bus accident Elected: British General Election of 1906 - Elected Member of Parliament in the City of York - Winston Churchill (then Undersecretary of State) appointed him as his Parliamentary Private Secretary.

Appointed under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland the granting of the dignity of a Baroness of the said United Kingdom By the name, style and title of Baroness Macdonald of Earnscliffe, in the Province of Ontario, and Dominion of Canada At her decease the dignity of a Baron of the said United Kingdom to the heirs male of her body lawfully begotten, by the name, style and title of Baron Macdonald of Earnscliffe, in the Province of Ontario, and Dominion of Canada. Baroness Macdonald of Earnscliffe Born: 24 August 1836, at Bernard Lodge, South of Spanish Town, Jamaica Susan Agnes Bernard Married: 16 February 1857 to Sir John A. Macdonald (2 nd wife) – he was 52 Child: Margaret Mary Theodora Macdonald (1869 – 1933) who was born with hydrocephalus and suffered from physical and mental disabilities. Died: 05 September 1920 at Eastbourne (south coast of England) She was brought up in Jamaica and England. She came to Canada with her mother to live with her brother. It was through her brother, Hewitt, that she met the Canadian politician, Sir John A. Macdonald. They would marry on February 16, 1867. Canada's first "First Lady" was intelligent and curious about life but she had little patience for the social graces and duties of the wife of a Canadian Prime Minister. In 1886, following the completion of the Canadian pacific Railway the Macdonald's set off on a transcontinental rail trip. Consumed by the beauty of the Canadian Rockies, the 50 year old woman raised concerns from the crew when she enjoyed part of the trip wrapped in blankets and perched atop a candle box on the locomotive's cow catcher! The diaries she wrote, now preserved in Canada's National Archives, provide a fascinating view of the early years of Canadian Confederation.

  • 1 the Crown and Honours
    The Crown and Honours: Getting it Right Christopher McCreery I N T R O D U C T I O N In the words of that early scholar of Commonwealth autonomy, Sir Arthur Berridale Keith, “The Crown is the fount of all honour.”i The role of the Crown as the fount of all official honours in Canada is a precept that is as old and constant as is the place of the Crown in our constitutional structure. Since the days of King Louis XIV residents of Canada have been honoured by the Crown for their services with a variety of orders, decorations and medals. The position of the Crown in the modern Canadian honours system is something that is firmly entrenched, despite consistent attempts to marginalize it in recent years. Indeed honours are not something separate from the Crown, they are an integral element of the Crown. A part that affords individuals with official recognition for what are deemed as good works, or in the modern context, exemplary citizenship. Just last year we witnessed the Queen’s direct involvement in the honours system when she appointed Jean Chrétien as a member of the Order of Merit. While many commentators and officials in Canada seemed confused as to just what this honour is – the highest civil honour for service – people did realize how significant it was, in large part because it came not from a committee or politician, but directly from the Sovereign. With this paper I will delve into the central role the Crown and Sovereign play in the creation of honours and I will also explore the areas where attention and reform are required in the Canadian honours system.

  • Algoma Steel Inc. Site-Specific Standards
    ABSTRACT Comments and supporting documentation regarding the concerns of ERO proposals to extend the expiry date for Algoma Steel Inc. (ASI) Site-Specific Standards (SSS) and the time required to complete necessary environmental work to reduce current benzene emissions from the facility. Selva Rasaiah Submitted to: Environmental Registry of Ontario Submitted by: Selva Rasaiah Submitted: December 13, 2020 (ERO 019-2301) December 20, 2020 (ERO 019-2526) ALGOMA STEEL INC. *Revised: December 21, 2020 SITE-SPECIFIC STANDARDS ERO PROPOSAL EXTENSION CONCERNS P a g e | 1 ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTRY OF ONTARIO ERO PROPOSAL 019-2301 P a g e | 2 P a g e | 3 P a g e | 4 P a g e | 5 ERO PROPOSAL 019-2301 As a former certified emissions auditor of the coke oven batteries at Algoma Steel Inc. (ASI) in 2018, I would encourage the province to reject the proposal (ERO# 019-2301) for an extension of the current site-specific-air standard (SSS). The extension is requested by the MECP since the original targets set for Benzene for 2021 (2.2 ug/m3) in the current ERO# 012-4677 (2016) will not likely be achieved. BENZENE The deficiency in the MECP’s plan for ASI to meet its intended target by 2021 is partly because the SSS for benzene that was set in 2016 (5.5 ug/m3) was only a 7.4% decrease from their modelled value in 2015 (5.94 ug/m3) according to ASI’s Emission Summary Dispersion Model (ESDM) report. Although, ASI is currently below their current SSS for Benzene (5.5 ug/m3), the data from ASI ESDMs’ from 2017-2019 shows an increasing trend of values closer to their current limit over time, rather than a gradual trend down towards their 2021 limit of 2.2 ug/m3 before ERO #012-4677 expires.
