Principal’s Message – May 6, 2026

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Au nom de toute la communauté du Massey College, je tiens à féliciter notre Senior Fellow, Louise Arbour, pour sa nomination au poste de gouverneure générale du Canada.

Madame Arbour’s lifelong commitment to justice, human rights, and the public good is emblematic of everything that makes our community so vitally important.

Massey College is honoured to count so many of our Canada’s Governors General among our community: our founder the Right Honourable Vincent Massey, Senior Fellow the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, Senior Fellow the Right Honourable Julie Payette, and now Senior Fellow the Right Honourable Louise Arbour.

Félicitations et meilleurs vœux!

James Orbinski, Principal
