From the Ontario Honours and Awards Secretariat
The Ontario Honours and Awards Secretariat of the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism delivers honour and award programs that celebrate Ontarians’ outstanding achievements and recognize individual contributions to a variety of sectors and communities.
The Order of Ontario is the most prestigious honour we administer. As the province’s highest civilian honour, the Order of Ontario is reserved for Ontarians from all fields of endeavour and backgrounds whose excellence has left a lasting legacy in the community, province, Canada and around the world. Each year, a select group of individuals are appointed to the Order. They represent the best of our province.
Among our goals for delivering the Order of Ontario program is ensuring those appointed to the Order represent the full breadth and depth of the people who make our province great. That is why we are encouraging you and/or your organizations to nominate an individual for this honour. The deadline for the 2024 nominations is March 31, 2024.
Please consider drafting and submitting a nomination for someone in your community who you feel merits this important honour. For more information or to make a nomination please visit: The Order of Ontario | Ontario.ca.
Please also consider nominating individuals for other honours and awards at: www.ontario.ca/page/honours-and-awards.
