A Hakka raised in Ontario, Clarkson's ancestry is from Taishan, Guangdong, China.
Clarkson studied at Ottawa public schools, until 1956, when she studied in the University of Toronto's Trinity College.
Clarkson has been asked, and agreed, to remain in office for at least another year in order to promote stability as the country faces the potential constitutional difficulties of a minority government; other past Governors General have had their terms extended in such circumstances, such as Roland Michener and Georges Vanier.
