Order of Canada. Civilian honour awarded in Canada. Established in 1967, the award is administered by the Governor General with the assistance of an advisory council and is granted to 'Canadian citizens for outstanding achievement and service to the country or to humanity at large.' Any living Canadian may be nominated for membership by any other Canadian.
Initially a member of the Order either was made a Companion (CC, limited to 165 living persons at any given time) or was awarded the Medal of Service. Companions of the Order of Canada honours are awarded for service with the highest degree of merit to Canada and to humanity. Recipients may also be named to the rank of Companion in recognition of extraordinary achievement in their field of endeavour. In 1972 holders of the Medal of Service took the newly created rank of Officer (OC), and a third level, Member (CM), was introduced. Up to 64 appointments can be made to the rank of Officer every year compared with 136 to the rank of Member. By May 2004 more than 250 Canadians had been honoured for achievement in the field of music or in support of musical activity. In the following list, the year of appointment is given after the name. A date range is given for the first award to those persons who have later been elevated within the ranks of the Order. Many of the recipients of the Order of Canada listed have individual entries in EMC.
