Saying Goodbye to Lincoln Alexander
Live Funeral Coverage This Friday
(Ottawa, October 25, 2012) – This Friday, CPAC brings viewers live coverage from Hamilton, Ontario, where a state funeral will be held for Lincoln Alexander. The Canadian statesman became a political trailblazer in 1968 as the first black MP in the House of Commons following his election in the Ontario riding of Hamilton West – a seat he held until 1980. He also served as federal Minister of Labour in former Prime Minister Joe Clark’s government and as Ontario’s 24th Lieutenant Governor – the first black person to serve in a vice regal position in Canada – from 1985 to 1991. Mr. Alexander died on October 19th at the age of 90. Join CPAC this Friday to pay tribute to a life dedicated to public service.
