Celebrating Canada and its People
For generations, Governor Generals have been using Canada’s Honours System to honour the heroes of yesterday and today, and to celebrate the excellence, genius and generosity that characterize Canadians. These women and men shape the face of Canada; artists, researchers, thinkers, teachers, journalists, architects, soldiers, as well as citizens from all walks of life who are recognized for their bravery, their meritorious service and their caring.
