The Canada Project’s monthly connection challenge for September 2023 is open. We are highlighting 10 Canadian Notables who need to be connected to the Global Family Tree.  Can you help by adding profiles of family members until a connection to the Global WikiTree is made?

The current tree sizes as of July 28th are shown for each profile.  Even if a connection is not made, adding even a single profile to a family is helpful and appreciated!

The notables needing assistance are:

Patrick Binns - Premier of Prince Edward Island, Tree size start - 0; Connected 9/01/23

Glen Clark - Premier of British Columbia, Tree size start - 8; Connected 9/06/23

Lois Hole - Lt. Gov. of Alberta, Tree size start - 0; Connected 9/01/23

Wilma Hunley - Lt. Gov. of Alberta, Tree size start - 24; Connected 9/02/23

Michaëlle Jean - Governor General, Tree size start - 5; as of 9/10/23 - 5

William Lloyd - Prime Minister of the Dominion of Newfoundland, Tree size start - 5; as of 9/10/23  - 12; Connected 9/14/23

Robert McLeod - Premier of Northwest Territories, Tree size start - 0; as of 9/10/23  - 1

Stephen McNeil - Premier of Nova Scotia, Tree size start - 8; Connected 9/01/23

I’ve started working on Jocelyne Roy-Vienneau. Her mother is still living, at least as of 2019. I will not want to keep the profile so who should I add as manager?
by Liza Gervais G2G6 Pilot (395k points)
Thanks Liza. You can add me and I'll add the project account.
She's connected now on her father's side.
Thank you Matthew and Liza.
You have been added Dave. Thanks.
I'm on the trusted list but you need to add me as manager before you can withdraw from the profile.
Done. Sorry.
Thanks Liza!

Thanks Peggy!

I started a floating profile for Glen Clark's father, James Clark (1928 - 1983). Both of Glen's parents were from Rutherglen, Scotland. I'm not sure whether or not his mother is still living.

Could someone with access to Glen's profile please add James as father?

Here is an article that confirms the names of Glen's parents:

https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-province-glen-david-clark/131090706/

He is now added as Glen's father.

Thanks Dave.

There is a public Ancestry tree which should reliably show Glen Clark's recent pedigree, but I do not know enough about Scottish genealogy to source it on Wikitree.

Thanks Matthew. Hopefully someone will pick up this thread.

Re: Michaëlle Jean

Chronologie de René Depestre , the Chronology of her uncle Rene compiled with sources in the bibliography, contains her grandmother's name, an uncle's name, and several additional siblings that are not currently listed on WikiTree. 

I wasn't sure exactly how to source this so I didn't add them myself. 

by Concetta Phillipps G2G6 Mach 1 (10.9k points)

Thank you Concetta. This looks very helpful!

Notes for Robert (Bob) McLeod:

He was born in Fort Providence, NWT. 

His wife is Melody.

His parents are Angus and Rosemary.

He is Metis.

by Christine Daniels G2G6 Pilot (171k points)

I'm struggling to find anything else, the documentation is quite sparse. 

His brother, Michael, is also in politics. This article mentions that he grew up in a family of eight, but does not name any siblings other than Bob. 

There are multiple trees on Ancestry for Angus and Rosemary, but no concrete sources.
