Canadian former journalist who served as the 28th Lieutenant Governor of
Ontario from 2007 until 2014. His seven-year term makes him the longest
serving Lieutenant Governor of Ontario since Albert Edward Matthews and
the province's second longest serving viceroy since Confederation. As the province's first Lieutenant Governor with a
disability, Onley said he would use his vice-regal position to help remove
physical barriers to Ontario's 1.5 million people with disabilities, as well as
focus on other issues affecting the disabled, including obstacles to employment
and housing.

was a television journalist. He worked primarily for Citytv as a weather reporter, before moving on to cover
science and technology stories. Later on, he worked with the 24-hour news
station CablePulse 24 as a news anchor and host of a weekly
technology series. A published author, he was founding president of the
Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Canada. He is
married to Ruth Ann Onley, a Christian music performer, author and writer.view less
