Three Western alumni have recently been appointed to the Order of Canada.

James Bartleman, BA'63 (History), LLD'02 (pictured left)
Officer of the Order of Canada - For his contributions to his country, notably as lieutenant governor, and as a champion of mental health, literacy and poverty reduction.

Denis Losier, MA'75 (Economics)

Paul Martin, LLD'10
Companion of the Order of Canada - For his distinguished contributions to Canadian politics and for his active involvement in promoting opportunities for Aboriginal Canadians.

The Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest civilian honours, was established in 1967, during Canada’s centennial year, to recognize a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to community and service to the nation. During the last 40 years, more than 5 000 people from all sectors of society have been invested into the Order.
