Member of the Order of Canada

• Awarded on: November 19, 2015
• Invested on: May 13, 2016

For his contributions to strengthening financial administration in Alberta, and for his sustained commitment to community organizations.

Alberta has benefited from Peter Valentine’s wisdom on matters of finance, governance and accountability. As the auditor general of Alberta, he earned a reputation as a trusted officer of the legislature who quietly advanced the management of public funds and the effectiveness of the Alberta public service. Without fanfare, he has similarly applied his expertise to improve the administration of several key provincial institutions, including the Calgary Health Region, the Alberta Securities Commission and the University of Calgary.
