The Order of Canada : Its origins, history, and development

$20.00 CAD

pp 372, color illustrations. “The spirit that motivates the Order of Canada – celebration, inclusion, and democracy – was born of the memories of Canada’s earlier experience with honours. From initial distrust and misunderstanding to the awakening of a national identity, the development of the Order reflects the relationship Canadians have with their country, their government, their culture, and their heroes. The Order itself is a product of national identity, politics, and history, reflected by the significance of its recipients’ accomplishments. Indeed, the Order’s history is as fascinating as the more than 4000 Canadians who have received it.”
