Seven Manitobans have been appointed to the Order of Canada, including six members of the UM community. These are among the 114 new appointments announced by Gov.-Gen. Julie Payette who will join nearly 7,000 Canadians from all walks of life who have received the award.
The appointment is selected by the Governor General after a recommendation from the Order of Canada advisory council, and is open to anyone, regardless of occupation, who has enriched the lives of others in their community.
