Former Ontario Lieutenant Governor David Onley will give the keynote speech at Huntington University's Dr. Edward J. Conroy Distinguished Lecture Series and Community Leadership Awards event Tuesday, Jan. 23.

This by-invitation-only event and awards program celebrates local residents and groups who demonstrate true leadership through community action.

Onley was appointed Ontario’s 28th lieutenant-governor in 2007, with his term ending in September 2014. 

As Ontario’s first lieutenant governor with a physical disability, Onley adopted accessibility as the overarching theme of his mandate. 

His seven years of service makes him the second longest-serving Lieutenant Governor of Ontario since the office was constituted in 1791.
