About Ralph Goodale: From the rural farming community of Wilcox, Ralph Goodale is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan with Degrees in both Arts and Law. His law degree was awarded in 1972 “With Distinction” when he earned the Brown Prize as the Law College’s most outstanding graduate.
With practical experience in agriculture, business, law and broadcasting, he was elected nine times as a federal Member of Parliament for Saskatchewan and served more than 30 years in the House of Commons, including Cabinet responsibilities for Agriculture, Natural Resources, Public Works, Finance and Public Safety, among others.
In 2021, Mr. Goodale began an assignment of nearly five years in London as Canada’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. During that tenure he hosted hundreds of members of the Canadian legal community at two sessions of the biennial Cambridge Lectures, led by Chief Justice Wagner of the Supreme Court of Canada.
Chosen as one of the 100 most influential graduates of the University of Saskatchewan and a recipient of the Canadian Churchill Society’s Award of Excellence in the cause of Parliamentary Democracy, Ralph Goodale was honoured in 2025 as Diplomat of the Year in London and was awarded the “Freedom of the City” for his work on Canada-UK relations.
He and his spouse, Pamela Kendel-Goodale, make their home in Regina.
