}}John William Grace (6 January 1927 – 5 February 2009) was the first Privacy Commissioner of Canada.[1][2]

He was born in Ottawa, Ontario and attended St. Patrick's High School there. His education continued in Ottawa at St. Patrick's College where he earned a Bachelor of Arts diploma and where he was close classmates with Douglas Roche and John Turner who became federal politicians.[1] Grace then moved to Washington, D.C. where he attended The Catholic University of America. After receiving a Master of Arts there in 1952,[3] he proceeded to Ann Arbor, Michigan where he earned a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan in 1958.[3][1]

In 1958, Grace returned to Canada and entered journalism, becoming a member of the Ottawa Journal's editorial board. He remained with that newspaper until its demise in 1980, two years after he became its chief editor and vice-president. Grace had directed the Journal's editorial policy since 1972, after being an associate editor since 1962.[1][4] Between 1971 and 1977, Grace was also a member of the Canada Council, serving there for two terms. After the Ottawa Journal closed, Grace was appointed to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission as a full-time commissioner.

Grace served a seven-year term as the first Privacy Commissioner of Canada, starting in 1983.[1] This Canadian federal agency is responsible for supervising the private and public management of personal information. In 1990, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney appointed Grace as the Information Commissioner of Canada,[1][4] but by 1992 Grace confronted the Mulroney government regarding its refusal to release the results of government-funded polls regarding national unity.[5][6] Grace remained Information Commissioner until 1998.

He was a part-time lecturer at the University of Ottawa where he was a member of its board of governors for four terms.[4]

Grace died following a heart attack at his Ottawa home on 5 February 2009, aged 82.[7][8] He was survived by his wife and six children.[3][7]
