Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, Blue Rodeo bandmates Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, and retired International Space Station commander Chris Hadfield are among the 45 people named to the Order of Canada in Ottawa on Wednesday.
Gov. Gen. David Johnston presided over the ceremony at Rideau Hall. In total, 12 people were invested as officers of the Order of Canada, while 33 were invested as members.
The Meritorious Service Cross was presented posthumously to businessman and philanthropist Joseph Rotman. The decoration was given to his wife, Sandra Rotman.
At the ceremony, Johnston said told the appointees that each of them has helped to “create stronger communities, a better country and a better world.”
“This honour recognizes a lifetime of achievement, but your work is by no means over,” Johnston said in a speech that was posted to his website. “You have many more stories to tell and new frontiers to explore.”
The Order of Canada was created in 1967, during Canada’s centennial year.
