List of appointees who attended the ceremony
The Order is not only a means of recognition. It is an invitation: to continue to lead with courage,
to remain strong, and to deepen the ties we share as a nation.
The Order of Canada celebrates people who have enriched our country through their extraordinary and varied contributions. Appointments are made for sustained achievement at three levels: Companion, Officer and Member. Officers and Members may be elevated within the Order in recognition of further achievements, based on continued exceptional or extraordinary service to Canada.
