Total 35 + 1 Vacancy ( Yukon Territories entitled to a governor, but one not appointed; other 2 Territories are not yet entitled to a governor )
Note: Changes from 2010-1 are that B.C., Alta., Nova Scotia and New Brunswick all have 1 less governor. Yukon Territory is entitled to 1 governor ( I believe they were also last year, but a governor was never appointed ). So there are 35 + 1 Vacancy prov. rep. governors this year, compared with 39 last year.

3. Total Governors - 56 + 2 vacancies ( when 1 outstanding province appoints )
Note: You can see from the above:
1. There should be 5 presidents in the last 5 years ( including the Past President, on the Executive ) - but we have only 4 – Bob Gillanders, Eric Van Dusen, David Lavin, and Hal Bond ( in 2006-7 we had 2 part-term presidents, and so they did not become governors );
2. There are10 former president life governors ( 2 term presidents, or appointed );
3. The President, when elected, is no longer a Provincial Representative governor – on becoming president, he becomes a governor-at-large. He has the power to appoint a replacement governor for himself. from his home Province.
