Honoring
Graeme Stewart Mount

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Graeme Stewart Mount, on July 22, 2025, just four days shy of his 86th birthday. Graeme fought a five-year battle with cancer, showing unbelievable positivity and a truly unwavering spirit. He left this world with his family right by his side.

Graeme was a proud Laurentian University Professor Emeritus. He touched countless lives through his teaching and mentorship. In 2000, Graeme was awarded the “Teacher of the Year” award. His dedication to students included inviting them on research trips to archives across Canada and internationally.

His absence will be felt from Sudbury to Victoria, and around the entire world by friends, students, and family, many of whom visited his beloved cottage on Long Lake.

His research interests were extensive and led to an impressive array of publications. Books about Canadian-American relations, and most recently his co-authored work on Northeastern Ontario, marked the beginning and end of a long publishing career. His doctoral thesis on the establishment of the Panama Canal was the beginning of numerous publications about the Caribbean and Latin America. Graeme had a passion for travel, canoeing, and keeping up with world and domestic events.

Graeme is survived by his wife of 61 years, Joan Eva Janet Biggar Mount; his two sons, Fraser (Patrick) and Andrew (Laurie); his beloved grandsons, Blake and Sawyer; and by Graeme’s brother, John (Elizabeth).

He was deeply loved, and his presence will live on in our memories and countless “G.S.M.” stories. Graeme’s family would appreciate donations in his memory to the local S.P.C.A., Pet Save, or the BC Cancer Foundation, or your local equivalent.
