Province of Ontario Commissioner for Taking Affidavits Certificate

This is a formal legal document issued by the Province of Ontario, Canada, dated December 5, 1995. The certificate appoints an individual as a 'Commissioner for Taking Affidavits.' It is printed on heavy cream-colored cardstock or parchment-style paper and features bilingual text in English and French. At the top center is the Coat of Arms of Ontario. The document is issued under the name of The Honorable Henry Newton Rowell Jackman, who served as the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario during that period. A prominent, serrated red wax-style foil seal is affixed in the center. The document bears an original ink signature in the upper right corner and a printed signature for the Chair of the Management Board of Cabinet at the bottom. The certificate is housed in a contemporary thin black frame with a gold-toned inner lip, protected by glass. There is some visible minor waviness to the paper, suggesting it is not dry-mounted, and minor dust or debris is visible under the glass, but the document itself appears well-preserved with no major foxing or fading of the ink.
