    Gloria Baylis

    Gloria Leon Baylis (née Clarke), registered nurse, civil rights activist, founder and owner of Baylis Medical Company (born 29 June 1929 in Barbados, died 12 April 2017 in Montreal, QC). Baylis, a British-trained Caribbean migrant nurse was the key witness in Her Majesty the Queen, Complainant v. Hilton of Canada Ltd., Accused. (See also Caribbean Canadians.) On 2 September 1964, one day following the introduction of the Act Respecting Discrimination in Employment in Quebec, Baylis inquired about a permanent part-time nursing position at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel (QEH), which was operated by Hilton of Canada. Baylis was told that the position had already been filled. With the support of the Negro Citizenship Association (NCA), Baylis filed a complaint. On 4 October 1965, the court found that Hilton of Canada had violated the Act. For 11 years, Hilton of Canada appealed the ruling. On 19 January 1977, the Court of Appeal of Quebec upheld the initial conviction, a fine of $25 and related costs. This case is significant because it is the first time in Canadian history that an institution had been found guilty of racial discrimination in employment. (See also Prejudice and Discrimination in Canada.)

    Gord Downie

    Gordon Edgar Downie, CM, singer, songwriter, poet, activist, actor (born 6 February 1964 in Kingston, ON; died 17 October 2017 in Toronto, ON). Gord Downie was the lead singer and lyricist of the rock group the Tragically Hip, one of the most popular and influential Canadian bands of all time. Downie was known for his eccentric charisma as a performer and for his cryptic and poetic lyrics, which borrow heavily from Canadian history, literature and culture. Downie was called the “poet laureate of Canadian rock music” and “Canada’s everyman rock poet.” His 2015 diagnosis of glioblastoma (brain cancer) prompted a national farewell tour in 2016. It ended with a final concert that was viewed by nearly 12 million people. Downie won 22 Juno Awards — 6 as a solo artist and 16 with the Hip. He and the Hip were inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2002 and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2005.
