Introduction
(Note: This page is a sub-page of the Unconnected Notables page, which, in turn, is a sub-page of the Connectors Chat page. For more details about what's going on here, please read the Connectors Chat page. Also, please post any messages about what's happening on this page on the Connectors Chat page.)
This table lists colonial governors and lieutenant governors, governors general, provincial lieutenant governors, premiers and commissioners of Canada, its provinces and territories who have profiles on WikiTree that are not yet connected to the main tree.
- The "Branch Size" number is the total number of profiles in the branch that contains that person's profile. (If the branch size is 1, it means that that person has not been linked to any parent, spouse, or child's profile.)
- The "Name" is the full name for that person, or the name by which they are commonly known.
- The "Last Name At Birth" is normally that notable's last name at birth. (If that notable is from a culture which does not use last names, then the Last Name At Birth will be whatever is used in that person's WikiTree ID.)
- The "Country" cell includes any country where somebody from that branch was born. (Note that many branches spread over more than one country, so you may miss some branches that are at least partly in the country you're looking for if you sort the table by this column. To make sure that you find all of them, try searching within this page using Control-F if you're running Linux or Windows, or Command-F if you're running macOS.)
- The "Order" cell lists that person's order in the succession of the office in that state, territory, or district.
- The "Place" column lists the place where that person was elected or appointed to office (whether for Canada as a whole, or for a colony, dominion, or territory which is now part of Canada, or a current province or territory).
- If there is an asterisk (*) in the "1900" column, it means that person was alive in the year 1900. This is to mark profiles that are eligible for inclusion in La Belle Époque Project.
You can sort the list by any column (Branch Size, Name, Last Name At Birth, Country, Order, Place, or Working On) by clicking on the sort symbol in the header for that column.
Free space profiles (like this one) work pretty much the same way that profiles for people do, so all the same syntax applies. So to show that you are working on a branch, edit this page, scroll down to the listing you want work on, and replace the number at the end of the line with two opening square brackets ([), then your WikiTree ID, then a pipe (|), then your name, then two closing square brackets (]), like this: [[Example-123|Ferdinand Grubstake]].
Similarly, when you connect a branch (or discover one that's already connected), add Connected (or Found connected) and then the date. Put three single quotes (') before and after "connected" to put it into bold, like this: "'Connected'" 2022-05-01. One of the page pruners will then delete that entry in a couple of weeks, after everybody has had a chance to celebrate the new connection.
Feel free to add more unconnected notables, but please do not add notables whose profiles are not set to Open. Connecting is hard enough without having to deal with privacy restrictions.

Note: This search is updated weekly. If changes are made, they will not immediately be seen.
To review why I started this page, it's basically an outgrowth of the ideas that I posted on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:How_to_increase_a_country%27s_presence_on_WikiTree
Now, Canada has long had profiles for all our deceased past prime ministers and governors-general, and all those profiles are sourced and connected to the main tree. (Most of them don't have their full set of great-grandparents, but since the Notables Quick Links page has gone away, that doesn't matter as much as it used to, although adding great-grandparents would still make it easier for people to find family connections to those leaders.)
Similarly, all but one of B.C.'s deceased former colonial governors, premiers, and lieutenant governors have profiles and are also sourced and connected, thanks to people who took part in that challenge: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/771735/help-connect-british-columbia-premier-lieutenant-governor and Yukon is getting pretty close to being done thanks to the people who took part in this one: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/789282/can-you-help-connect-a-yukon-commissioner
I was kind of hoping that other people would take on the challenge of creating more challenges for their home provinces and territories, but if anybody ever did, I never heard about it. So this page started out being the equivalent of launching 11 more provincial/territorial challenges, except that it takes less work. As we started to run out of colonial governors, commissioners, lieutenant governors, and premiers for more provinces and territories, I decided to expand the pool by adding in deceased former mayors of Ottawa, the provincial and territorial capitals, and the 14 next largest cities in Canada. And, during CoViD, the thought occurred to me that it would be nice to honour deceased former ministers of health. But I'm not such a political junkie that I really want to spend time chasing down all the former aldermen of Spuzzum, British Columbia, so if I'm still around when the last of the people in the categories I've already set for this page are connected, I'll probably shut this page down. Already, there are at least partial "spines" of connected profiles through time for every province and territory and 28 cities, so it should already be easier for people with family in Canada to connect their own branches to the main tree, which was the point of the exercise in the first place.

Here is a search that brings in even more notable - https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTWebProfileSearch/Profiles.htm?Query=Subcat9=Notables%3DCanada+unconnected&MaxProfiles=5000&Format=&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=1500
But it only works if there are the applicable categories on the profile.

Other cities, I'm having real trouble with. So far, I haven't found a single mayor for Markham, Mississauga, St. John's, Saskatoon, or Yellowknife.
Still others (Iqauit, Saint John, Surrey, and Vaughan, for example) don't even have Wikipedia articles for most of their mayors. I've been able to find a very few mayors or reeves in those cases, but without Wikipedia to guide me, it's taking a LOT longer.
