The Hon. James K. Bartleman, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario
A long tradition of vice-regal support for community groups in Ontario
began in 1888, when the Ontario Historical Society became the first
organization to be granted patronage by the Lieutenant Governor.
The Hon. James Bartleman is continuing this tradition by lending his
support and encouragement to a wide range of organizations by becoming
their honorary patron. This broadly based patronage reflects his wish
to celebrate the contributions of all Ontarians.
As Lieutenant Governor, Mr Bartleman also wishes to support particular
causes by granting patronage to organizations that promote mental health
and offer support to youth, particularly Aboriginal youth.
The Lieutenant Governor is honorary patron of the Munk Centre for
International Studies at the University of Toronto among many others.
