New Canadian Encyclopedia Article: Vere Brabazon Ponsonby, 9th Earl of Bessborough

My new article in the Historica Canada Canadian Encyclopedia is about Vere Brabazon Ponsonby, 9th Earl of Bessborough, Governor General of Canada from 1931 to 1935 (born 27 October 1880 in London, United Kingdom; died 10 March 1956 in Stoughton, United Kingdom). Bessborough was the first governor general to entertain a reigning foreign monarch in Canada, the first to fly a viceregal standard for Canada and the first to have his installation broadcast on the radio.
