Garde Basil Gardom, {{Post-nominals|country=CAN|QC|OBC}} (17 July 1924 – 18 June 2013) was a Canadian politician, lawyer, and the 26th Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia.

Early life

Gardom was born in Banff, Alberta on 17 July 1924.[1] He grew up in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, and attended high school in Vancouver.[2] He obtained his BA and LLB degrees from the University of British Columbia. During his undergraduate years, he played varsity basketball for the Thunderbirds[3] and was an active member of the BC Alpha Chapter of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.[1] He then practiced law in Vancouver.

Political career

Gardom was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the constituency of Vancouver-Point Grey in the general elections of 1966, 1969, 1972, 1975, 1979, and 1983.[1] Originally a Liberal, he joined the Social Credit party in 1974 and was appointed to the cabinet of Premier Bill Bennett in 1975.[6] He held numerous ministerial positions including Attorney General, Minister of Intergovernmental Relations, and was the longest-serving Government House Leader.[1]

In 1987, Gardom was appointed the agent-general for British Columbia in London, England.[6] He served in that post until 1992.[2]

Lieutenant Governor

In 1995 Gardom was appointed Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia by Governor General Roméo LeBlanc, on the advice of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. He was the only non-Liberal politician to be appointed as a Lieutenant Governor during Chrétien's term (although Gardom started out his career with the Liberals). He served until 2001. In 2002 he received the Order of British Columbia.[4]

Personal life

In 1956, Gardom married Helen Eileen Mackenzie. They had five children.[1]

Death

Gardom died on 18 June 2013, aged 88.[5][6]
