Description

In 1966, a project to create a national honour for Canadians was begun.

The order recognizes individuals for their outstanding achievements, dedication, and service to the country.

It is a product of national identity, politics, and history, and includes such individuals as Atom Egoyan, Joseph Boyden, and Louise Arbour. The second edition of The Order of Canada continues the celebration of the order.

Christopher McCreery sheds new light on the development of Canadian honours in the early 1930s, the imposed prohibition on honours from 1946 to 1967, and new details on those who have been removed or resigned from the Order.

Extensively illustrated, The Order of Canada pays tribute to the individuals who felt the need for a system of recognition for Canadians.

Indeed, the order’s history is as fascinating as the more than four thousand Canadians who have received it.
