http://www.gg.ca/governor_general/history/bios/tweedsmuir_e.asp

Lord Tweedsmuir of Elsfield
Sir John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield Governor General:
Appointed:
August 10, 1935
Sworn In: November 2, 1935, Quebec City, Quebec.
Born: August 26, 1875, Perth, Scotland
Died: February 11, 1940
When Lord Tweedsmuir became Governor General, Canada was graced with a very literary vice-regal couple. Lord Tweedsmuir was a prolific author, writing two or three books a year – his suspense novel Thirty-Nine Steps later became famous when Alfred Hitchcock made it into a movie. Lady Tweedsmuir wrote many books and plays under the name of Susan Buchan. During his time as Governor General, Lord Tweedsmuir continued to write and his book Augustus , and his autobiography, Memory Hold-the-Door , were penned at Rideau Hall. While he pursued his own writing career, he also promoted the development of a distinctly Canadian culture. In 1936, encouraged by Lady Tweedsmuir, he created the Governor General's Literary Awards, which continue to be Canada's most prestigious recognition of literary merit. Lady Tweedsmuir was active in promoting literacy in Canada. She used Rideau Hall as a distribution centre for 40,000 books, which were sent out to readers in remote areas of the west. Her program was known as the "Lady Tweedsmuir Prairie Library Scheme". Together, Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir established the first proper library at Rideau Hall.

66. Major General The Right Honourable Georges Philias Vanier: Governor General
the Canadian Expeditionary Force, the FrenchCanadian battalion that, in 1920, becamethe famous Royal 22nd service to the Office of the Governor general.
http://www.gg.ca/governor_general/history/bios/vanier_e.asp

Major General The Right Honourable Georges Philias Vanier
Governor General:
Appointed:
August 1, 1959
Sworn In: September 15, 1959, Ottawa
Born: April 23, 1888, Montreal, Quebec
Died: March 5, 1967
As a young man, Georges Vanier was appointed an aide-de-camp to then-Governor General Lord Byng, in 1921. He and his wife had been married less than a year when they came to live in Rideau Cottage, on the grounds of Rideau Hall. Thirty-eight years after that first introduction, Georges and Pauline Vanier came to live at Rideau Hall as the newly appointed vice-regal couple. The appointment of Georges Vanier was announced at a Cabinet meeting in Halifax presided over by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The respect and affection which General Vanier inspired made him an appropriate successor to the popular Governor General Vincent Massey. Although Canada was experiencing turbulent times and General Vanier suffered from a heart condition, he reacted to the news of his appointment with the deep faith that was his constant companion. "If God wants me to do this job," he said, "He will give me the strength to do it." The Vaniers' strong religious beliefs led them to champion the disadvantaged, youth and the family. Their concern for the state of the family in Canada led them to organize the 'Canadian Conference of the Family' at Rideau Hall in 1964, which led to the founding of the Vanier Institute of the Family.
