Born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia,[1] Christopher graduated from St. Francis Xavier University and the Maritime School of Social Work before joining the Royal Canadian Navy[1] rising to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander. He served on {{HMCS|Stadacona}}, {{HMCS|Cornwallis}}, CFB Borden and at NATO.[1] His naval service is most notable for his work on expanding education and training services in the navy. Retiring in 1994, he briefly entered the private sector before becoming head of the Canadian government's VIP reception services. He became Usher of the Black Rod on December 9, 2002,[1] and his term expired on March 8, 2008, after having been extended for three months to allow the government to find a new Usher. Christopher had asked to be reappointed for a full term, but his request was denied by the government.[2] He was appointed an Officer of the Order of Military Merit in 1982. In 1994, he was made a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|title=Tributes on Retirement as Usher of the Black Rod|work=Parliament of Canada|url=http://www.parl.gc.ca/common/..%5C39%5C2%5Cparlbus%5Cchambus%5Csenate/deb-E/039db_2008-03-05-e.htm?Language=E&Parl=39&Ses=2|accessdate=2008-03-06}} 2. ^{{cite news |title=Ushered out |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/politicalbytes/2008/01/post_16.html |work=Political Bytes |publisher=CBC |date=2008-01-18 |accessdate=2008-01-24 }} External links
