Edith Dumont, an educator and community advocate, has been appointed the new lieutenant-governor for Ontario, the Prime Minister's Office announced Thursday.
Dumont will be the first Franco-Ontarian lieutenant-governor in the province's history when she assumes the role, the PMO said.
Dumont has worked as a special education teacher, a school principal, and an executive. She was also the first woman to lead the Conseil des ecoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario, a school board in eastern Ontario.
