The Earl of Aberdeen

My latest article in the Canadian Encyclopedia is about the Earl of Aberdeen, Governor General of Canada from 1893 to 1898.

As governor general, the Earl of Aberdeen and his wife, Lady Aberdeen, focused on social welfare and engaging with Canadians of various backgrounds and cultures, setting precedents for the philanthropic initiatives of future governors general. Aberdeen also owned an estate in the Okanagan Valley and pioneered commercial fruit growing in the region.
