Dan McIntyre

Danny Clarence "Dan" McIntyre (1950 – February 19, 2001) was chair of the Board of Governors of Toronto Metropolitan University, a former race relations commissioner for Ontario and a longtime human rights activist.

McIntyre was born in Saint John, New Brunswick to a Black family. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of New Brunswick and a Master of Social Work from Dalhousie University and subsequently became in officer in the Canadian Human Rights Commission and was promoted to director of the Canadian Human Rights Commission for Ontario.

He was the first visible minority to chair Toronto Metropolitan University's board and was described as "a role model because our student body at Ryerson is so diverse." Following his death, Toronto Metropolitan University created the Dan McIntyre Human Rights Award in his honour, awarded to "Ryerson students who have demonstrated a commitment to human rights and justice reform through community service involvement."
