Former Ontario Lieutenant Governor and broadcaster David Onley passed away at the age of 72 on Saturday.
Onley is well remembered as an advocate for disability issues. He became the 28th lieutenant governor in 2007 and fought endlessly for the rights of those with disabilities.
Onley was appointed to lead a committee to review accessibility in the province.
Premier Doug Ford shared over social media, Onley encouraged people to see the ability rather than the disability.
I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Ontario’s 28th Lieutenant Governor, The Honourable David Onley. His contributions to the province and his unwavering commitment to public service will long be remembered and celebrated.
