| Info | David Lloyd Johnston completed his university studies with distinction in three countries: the United States (Harvard A.B. 1963), England (Cambridge LL.B. 1965) and Canada (Queen's LL.B. 1966). While at Harvard he was twice named to the All-American Hockey Team and is in Harvard's Athletic Hall of Fame. His academic specializations are securities regulation, corporation law and communications law.
David Johnston taught law at Queen's University (1966), and the University of Toronto (1968), and was the University of Western Ontario's Dean of Law from 1974-1979. In 1979 he was named Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill University and in July 1994, on stepping down as Principal, returned to McGill's Faculty of Law as a full-time Professor. Professor Johnston took office as the 5th President of UW on June 1, 1999, and was formally installed as President and Vice-Chancellor later that month. Among the many honours accorded Professor Johnston are honorary doctorates from 12 universities and status as a Companion of the Order of Canada. He is the author/co-author of two dozen books. The 5th edition of one of these, Canadian Securities Regulation, is currently in preparation.
He was President of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, the Conférence des Recteurs et des Principaux des Universités du Québec, the founding Chair of the National Roundtable on Environment and the Economy and the only non-US citizen to chair Harvard University's Board of Overseers. For the federal government, he has chaired the Information Highway Advisory Council, the Blue Ribbon Panel on Smart Communities, the Advisory Council on Online Learning, the Committee on Canadian Information Systems for the Environment, and the National Broadband Task Force. He has also chaired the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and The Neuroscience National Centre of Excellence. Professor Johnston has served on many other provincial and federal task forces and committees and is on the boards of a number of companies including CGI Group, Masco Corp., Fairfax Financial Holdings, ARISE Technologies Inc., Stratford Festival, and is a founding trustee of the MasterCard Foundation.
He currently resides in Heidelberg, at Chatterbox Farm, with his wife, Dr. Sharon Johnston; they have five adult daughters and seven grandchildren.
