In 2021, the Institute was frequently in the news, as media turned to our Fellows and executive and board members for informed comment on developments concerning the Canadian Crown. While some of these were not positive, notably the resignation of Governor General Julie Payette, others were, for example the appointment and installation of Mary Simon as Canada’s 30th Governor General.
I am pleased to provide an update on all that has been going on at the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada. […] The year 2020 turned out to be the the one in which the Institute acquired a media profile. […] There is an evident need for informed comment and analysis on the role of the Crown in Canada. And that, of course, is the purpose of our Institute.
