Pearl McGonigal named Manitoba’s first female lieutenant governor. The Honourable Pearl McGonigal was a part of the Winnipeg political scene for many years. She was the first woman elected to the St. James-Assiniboia city council, a position to which she was re-elected when Winnipeg amalgamated with its suburb cities. She went on to become Winnipeg’s deputy mayor. Then, on October 23, 1981, McGonigal became the first woman to be appointed lieutenant governor of Manitoba, and only the second Canadian woman to hold such a post. She held this vice regal post until December 1986. In 1994, McGonigal was appointed to the Order of Canada, and in 2000 to the Order of Manitoba.
