Major-General Georges-Philéas Vanier ( April 23, 1888March 5, 1967 ) was a Canadian soldier and diplomat who served as Governor General of Canada, the 19th since Canadian Confederation.

Vanier was born and educated in Quebec and, after earning a university degree in law, served in the Canadian army during the First World War ; on the European battlefields he lost a limb, but was commended for his actions with a number of decorations from the King.

Subsequently, Vanier returned to Canada and remained in the military until the early 1930s, when he was posted to diplomatic missions in Europe.

Vanier proved to be a popular governor general, with his war record earning respect from the majority of Canadians ; though, as a Quebecer, he was met with hostility by Quebec separatists.

Vanier was born in Montreal to an Irish mother and a French-Norman father, who raised Vanier to be bilingual.

Vanier was called to the Quebec bar that year and, though he took up the practice of law, he considered entering the Catholic priesthood.

Vanier took on a prominent role in recruiting others, eventually helping to organise in 1915 the French Canadian 22nd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, of which he was commissioned as an officer, and which later, in 1920, became the Royal 22 < sup > e </ sup > Régiment.

With the cessations of hostilities, however, Vanier, for his bravery, was again awarded the Military Cross and given the 1914-15 Star, along with being appointed to the Distinguished Service Order.

On September 29, 1921, he married Pauline Archer and the couple had five children, one of whom was Jean Vanier.

For four years beginning in 1921, Vanier acted as aide-de-camp to Governor General the Viscount Byng of Vimy, leaving this post when he was promoted to the rank of lieutant colonel and took command of the Royal 22 < sup > e </ sup > Régiment at La Citadelle.

In 1928, Vanier was appointed to Canada's military delegation for disarmament to the League of Nations and, in 1930, was named secretary to the High Commission of Canada in London, remaining at that post for nearly a decade — approximately half of which he spent serving the man who would eventually immediately precede him as governor general of Canada, Vincent Massey.

He was an avid fan of sport and, though his favourite was hockey and specifically the Montreal Canadiens, Vanier instigated in 1965 the Governor General's Fencing Award and the Vanier Cup for the university football championship in the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union.

Georges and Pauline Vanier created the Vanier Institute of the Family in 1965.

After intercollegiate teams no longer competed for the Grey Cup, the team won the first Vanier Cup ever held in 1965, and then again in 1993 as Canadian national football champions.

CHRY was originally founded as a closed-circuit cable radio service, called Radio York, in 1965, and was located on the top floor of Vanier College and served campus residences and the cafeteria located at Central Square.

The Prime Minister, John Diefenbaker, however, felt that more Francophone representation was needed in Canada's government ; in his memoirs, Diefenbaker said he had considered a non-Canadian for the post and attributed his decision to put forward Vanier for appointment to a chance meeting with the Major-General.

As the representative of the head of state, Vanier hosted a list of official guests, including United States president John Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy ; the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie ; David Ben-Gurion, Prime Minister of Israel ; the Shah of Iran ; and General Charles de Gaulle, President of France.
