Thanks Annie, does this mean that Gord will be venturing out to receive this honour? I sort of remember him receiving the Order of Canada was it in 98? What an honour for him. Thanks for the post.
I expect he'll be there - presentations are made in a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. According to the Governor General's site on the Order of Canada awards: "New appointments to the Order are made twice each year and lists are announced around New Year's Day and Canada Day. The ceremony takes place at Rideau Hall, and is broadcast on CPAC, the Cable Public Affairs Channel. Three ceremonies are held each year...."
