The Order of Canada

The Order of Canada is the highest distinction that can be awarded to a Canadian Citizen. A person can be made an Officer of the Order of Canada for outstanding merit or distinguished service in a given field through lifelong contributions that have made a difference to Canada.

For his merits as a hockey player, both on and off the ice, Bobby Orr was no exception! On June 25^th, 1979, then Governor General Ed Schreyer, on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, honoured Bobby Orr with welcoming him as an Officer to the Order of Canada for representing an outstanding level of talent and service to Canada.
