Premier Doug Ford Issues Statement on the Passing of the Honourable James K. Bartleman, Former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario

TORONTO — Today, Premier Doug Ford #issued the following statement to #commemorate the death of the Honourable James K. Bartleman, former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario:

“I am deeply saddened to hear of the #passing of Ontario’s 27th Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable James K. Bartleman.

Mr. Bartleman served the people of Ontario with great #distinction as Lieutenant Governor from 2002 to 2007. A proud member of the Chippewas of the Rama First Nation, he made history as Ontario’s first Indigenous Lieutenant Governor.

Among his many #contributions at Queen’s Park, he helped to #destigmatize mental illness, promote anti-racism initiatives and #celebrate Indigenous communities, especially Indigenous youth. He was a strong advocate for #literacy and began the first Lieutenant Governor’s Book Drive, which collected 1.2 million books for First Nations schools across Ontario. An accomplished #author himself, he wrote nine books. To this day, Ontario continues to #recognize his legacy with the annual James Bartleman Indigenous Youth Creative Writing Award.

Mr. Bartleman had a long and distinguished #career in Canada’s foreign service, serving on six continents. Over his 35-year career in diplomacy, Mr. Bartleman represented Canada on the world stage and served as #ambassador or high commissioner to many countries including Israel, Cuba, Australia and South Africa.

His tremendous contributions to the province and country will long be #remembered.

I offer my sincere #condolences to his wife, Marie-Jeanne, and his children Anne-Pascale, Laurent, and Alain.”

Flags across the province are at half-mast and will remain so until after Mr. Bartleman’s funeral. At the request of Mr. Bartleman’s family, the funeral will be #private.
