Governor General Mary Simon invested 4 Companions (C.C.), 21 Officers (O.C.) and 29 Members (C.M.) into the Order of Canada during a ceremony at Rideau Hall.
The Order of Canada is one of our country’s highest honours. 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.
The snowflake insignia that you are about to receive is a symbol of the uniqueness of your accomplishments – as no two snowflakes are alike. It also represents Canada’s unity in diversity. Let’s continue celebrating the diversity that makes our country strong.
