Twice a year, in summer and in winter, appointments to the Order of Canada are posted in newspapers across the country. The range of professions represented is often dizzying, but there are common themes in the choices: excellence, service to the nation, passion, innovation, commitment, dedication, brilliance. The order's motto effectively captures the generous and selfless spirit of these people: Desiderantes meliorem patriam--they desire a better country. The Order of Canada--our nation's highest honour--was launched fifty years ago in 1967 by then-Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. Since then, almost seven thousand Canadians have received the award for service to their communities, to the nation and, in some cases, to the world. To celebrate the Order of Canada's fiftieth anniversary in 2017, the Rideau Hall Foundation commissioned this exceptional book with the aim of encouraging Canadians to learn about some of the remarkable individuals who have garnered this prestigious award. And although this book captures only a handful of their stories, it is a reflection of the inspiration all Order of Canada members bestow upon us. You'll meet luminaries and unheralded wave-makers alike, of every age, from coast to coast to coast, and marvel at the breathtaking diversity of their achievements. You may learn things about celebrated individuals that you didn't know before, and be introduced to extraordinary people whose names and work are unfamiliar, but who nonetheless have made a lasting impact. Choosing recipients for the Order of Canada is an elaborate process. Any citizen can nominate another citizen. Every year, between four hundred and six hundred names are filed with the Chancellery of Honours, the branch of the Governor General's office that oversees the selection process. Members of the Order are recognized for their contributions at a local or regional level. Officers of the Order earn it for service or accomplishment at the national level. And Companions of the Order are recognized for pre-eminent service with international impact. In 1967, though, one of the biggest obstacles to the creation of the Order of Canada was its design. What would it look like? The graphic designer whose job it was to create the insignia for the Order nervously pondered his weighty assignment. One afternoon, as he walked out from his office, it started to snow. As every Canadian knows, it's impossible to walk through falling snow without snowflakes hitting you in the eye. He was suddenly struck with inspiration ... and the snowflake insignia was born. The next time you see someone wearing the distinctive snowflake lapel pin, ask them about their story--it will be as fascinating and inspiring as any of those told in this book, and it will serve as a reminder of all that is good and great about the place we call our home and native land. Deux fois par an, en t et en hiver, les nominations l'Ordre du Canada sont publi es dans les journaux du pays. L' ventail des professions repr sent es a de quoi donner le tournis, mais l'on d gage des th mes communs dans les choix qui sont faits: l'excellence, le service la nation, la passion, l'innovation, le d vouement, l'intelligence. La devise de l'Ordre capte l'esprit de g n rosit et d'altruisme des r cipiendaires: Desiderantes meliorem patriam -- ils d sirent une patrie meilleure. L'Ordre du Canada, la distinction honorifique la plus prestigieuse de notre nation, a t cr il y a cinquante ans, en 1967, par le premier ministre Lester B. Pearson. Depuis, pr s de sept milles Canadiens en ont t investis, en reconnaissance des services rendus leur communaut , la nation ou au monde. Pour c l brer le cinquanti me anniversaire de l'Ordre du Canada, en 2017, la Fondation Rideau Hall a command ce livre exceptionnel afin d'encourager les Canadiens en apprendre davantage sur les r cipiendaires remarquables de cette prestigieuse distinction. Ce livre ne raconte qu'une poign e de leurs histoires, mais il t moigne de la capacit des membres de l'Ordre du Canada nous inspirer. Vous ferez la connaissance de sommit s et de cr ateurs m connus de tout ge, qui proviennent de tous les coins du pays, et vous vous merveillerez devant la diversit saisissante des r alisations canadiennes. Vous apprendrez des choses que vous ignoriez sur des personnalit s de marque et d couvrirez des personnes remarquables dont vous ne connaissiez peut- tre ni le nom ni le travail, mais qui ont eu une empreinte durable. La s lection des r cipiendaires de l'Ordre du Canada est un processus abouti. Tout citoyen canadien peut proposer la candidature d'un compatriote. La Chancellerie des distinctions honorifiques, le service du Bureau du secr taire du gouverneur g n ral qui voit ces formalit s, re oit chaque ann e entre quatre et six cents noms. Les Membres de l'Ordre sont reconnus pour leur contribution l' chelle locale ou r gionale. Les Officiers de l'Ordre ont leur actif des services ou des r alisations d'envergure nationale. Enfin, les Compagnons sont c l br s pour leur contribution minente au rayonnement international. En 1967, un des plus gros obstacles la cr ation de l'Ordre du Canada consistait cr er son insigne. Le graphiste charg de la conception envisageait avec nervosit la lourde t che qui l'attendait. Alors qu'il revenait de son bureau un apr s-midi, il se mit neiger. Tout Canadien le sait, il est impossible de marcher quand il neige sans prendre un flocon dans l'oeil. Et c'est ainsi qu'est n l'insigne en forme de flocon. La prochaine fois que vous croisez quelqu'un qui porte l' pinglette distinctive en forme de flocon, demandez-lui de vous raconter son histoire Vous entendrez alors un r cit aussi fascinant et inspirant que ceux racont s dans ce livre et vous vous souviendrez de la bont et la beaut de la terre de nos a eux.
