Justice Inger Hansen, Canada's first privacy commissioner, who passed away on September 28, is remembered in an Ottawa Citizen obituary. Hansen, who was born in Denmark in 1929, visited Canada for the first time in 1950 and emigrated a few years later. Appointed as Canada’s first privacy commissioner in 1977, she was “responsible for complaints relating to privacy rights and data protection, a field in which she soon became an internationally recognized authority.” In 1983, Hansen was appointed as Canada's first information commissioner, and she went on to an appointment to the Ontario Court of Justice in 1991. A memorial service is planned for late October.
