The Ontario government has officially removed Paul Godfrey from his position on the Order of Ontario advisory council. The council is responsible for selecting citizens who have made significant contributions to the province. This decision marks a notable change in the leadership of the group that oversees one of Ontario’s highest civilian honours.
Paul Godfrey is a well-known figure in Canadian business and media. He previously served as the CEO of Postmedia and has held various influential roles in public life.
