Kathryn McCallion: update

Death of Kathryn McCallion

It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Kathryn McCallion following her struggle with cancer. Kathryn was an icon for the international trade stream and a pioneer role model for many women in the Department as the first female Chief Trade Commissioner.

Kathryn began her career with the government of Canada in 1972 as a Trade Commissioner. Her career in the Canadian Foreign Service was rich, diverse and encompassed 36 years of exceptional leadership both in Canada and abroad, including postings in the Caribbean, Mexico, and the United States. She served in Paris at our mission to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, as Head of Mission in Jamaica, and was recognized for her efforts in leading the establishment of Team Canada Inc. when she received the Clerk of the Privy Council Award for Excellence.

She will be missed dearly by family, friends and former colleagues.
