Jacques Noiseux

Jacques Noiseux (8 December 1936 – 24 February 2016) was a Canadian diplomat who served in several prominent foreign service positions from 1965 to 1998.

He represented Canada as Ambassador to Lebanon, Syria, and Algeria

Canada's withdrawal of its ambassador to Syria was in support of Britain’s decision to sever diplomatic ties with Damascus following a bomb plot linked to the Syrian government. The Canadian government supported the action taken by Britain in light of the events surrounding the bombing attempt on an El Al passenger jet in April 1986.

Death Noiseux died on 24 February 2016 at the age of 79 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Montreal after a short illness. His funeral was held at the Chapelle de la Résurrection in Montreal on 3 March 2016. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory were requested for St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation and the Montreal Neurological Institute.
