Administrative History:
Sean O’Sullivan was born in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1952. At an early age, he
demonstrated an interest in politics. A chance meeting with John Diefenbaker in 1963, when
Sean was just 11 years old, marked the beginning of his involvement with the Progressive
Conservative Party. Diefenbaker became a mentor to him, and the two exchanged
correspondence for many years. Sean became an active member of the Party, and his political
career took off quickly. In 1965, he was elected to the executive of the Hamilton Area Young
Progressive Conservatives, in 1968 was elected President, and also served as Youth Director for
Diefenbaker’s re-election campaign. In 1970 he was elected President of the Ontario Young
Progressive Conservatives, and in 1971 became Youth Adviser to Premier William Davis. Later
that year, Diefenbaker chose Sean to be his Executive Assistant. In addition to his political
activities, Sean enrolled at Brock University in 1969 to study political science. In 1972, he
resigned as Diefenbaker’s assistant in order to run as a candidate for Hamilton-Wentworth in the
federal election that year. At just 20 years of age, Sean was the youngest MP elected to the
House of Commons.
While working as an MP, Sean continued his studies at Brock University part-time,
graduating with distinction. After being re-elected in 1974, he rose to greater prominence when
he succeeded in having a private member’s bill passed making the beaver one of Canada’s
national symbols.
In 1977, he resigned as MP in order to pursue religious studies and become a Catholic
priest. After completing four years of studies at the Irish College of Rome’s Gregorian
University, Sean was ordained a priest in Toronto in 1981. In July, 1982, he was appointed
Director of Vocations (full-time recruiter) for the archdiocese of Toronto. In this capacity, he
implemented a controversial and widely publicized campaign to recruit priests. The recruitment
succeeded in generating interest in the priesthood, doubling the number of students in the
archdiocese. He was one of the founding members of Serra House, a residence for students
considering the priesthood. After his term as Vocations Director ended in 1985, O’Sullivan
became publisher of The Catholic Register, a weekly church newspaper. That same year, he was
awarded an honorary doctorate from Brock University. In January 1987, he was appointed a
Member of the Order of Canada. Later that year, he submitted a report to the Attorney General
of Ontario, titled You’ve got a Friend, after conducting an independent review of Advocacy for
Vulnerable Adults in Ontario at the request of the government.

In 1983, O’Sullivan was diagnosed with leukemia. The disease went into remission after
treatment, but was incurable. In 1989, he had a bone marrow transplant at Princess Margaret
Hospital in Toronto, but died shortly afterwards. He was 37 years old. A memorial fund was
established in his name, and included contributions from prominent business, church and
political leaders such as Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Toronto Sun Chairman Doug Crieghton
and His Eminence G. Emmett Carter. The O’Sullivan family requested that Brock University be
the beneficiary of the proceeds of the campaign.
Scope and Content:
Fonds consists mostly of business correspondence from, and to, constituents and
colleagues during the time that Sean O’Sullivan served as MP for Hamilton-Wentworth from
1972-1977. Other related materials such as speeches, photographs, news clippings, reports and
promotional material are also included. The original order of the business correspondence has
been retained, including the original subject headings and file numbers. A card catalogue index
(found in boxes 30-32), included with the correspondence, enables easy searching and retrieval
of correspondence by surname. The index uses the original file numbers and dates to locate
specific correspondence. These file numbers are included in the finding aid in bold print after
the file descriptions. Personal correspondence between Sean O’Sullivan and John Diefenbaker,
dating from 1965-1972, is arranged separately. A folder containing an index to the speeches is
also included. Material within folders is arranged chronologically.
Materials within some folders were deemed restricted due to the personal nature of the
information in the documents. This personal information (such as personal identification
numbers) was removed, and a copy of the document with the personal information redacted put
in its place. The original items were removed and placed in a separate box. To view these
items, permission must be received from the archivist and any other relevant party.

The records were arranged into four series:
Series I: Administrative (mostly correspondence, some reports), 1958, 1963-1977
