Rod MacIvor (born September 17, 1946 in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada) is a retired Canadian photojournalist.
MacIvor worked for Dominion Wide Photos/The Ottawa Journal for a year in 1965, then attended and graduated from Ryerson University 1966-69 in Photographic Arts.
[2] MacIvor is the winner of various awards including: "Trudeau carrying Justin under his arm", showing Trudeau arriving (1973) at Government House for a Garden Party that he hosted for Commonwealth Heads of State, his son Justin Trudeau under his arm like a football, being saluted by a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer in dress uniform, was selected in the top ten of 100 Photos That Changed Canada, a hard cover coffee-table book sponsored by Canada's National History Society that will be published in November 2009.
The Trudeau and Justin photo was also chosen by Nancy Southam and McClelland & Stewart for the cover of their book titled "Pierre" 2005.
To use the photo as its original horizontal shape, it was agreed to extend it onto the back cover (in order to keep the RCMP salute).
