Order of Canada: Two Appointments Terminated

Summary#

The Canada Gazette published notice that the appointments of Peter Dalglish and Jacques Lamarre to the Order of Canada were terminated. The terminations were made by an ordinance signed by the Governor General on April 15, 2026, and the notice appeared on May 16, 2026.

What it does#

• Ends the membership of Peter Dalglish in the Order of Canada.
• Ends the membership of Jacques Lamarre in the Order of Canada.
• Records that the action was carried out by an ordinance signed by the Governor General on April 15, 2026, and published in the Canada Gazette on May 16, 2026.
• The notice is signed in the Gazette by Ken MacKillop, Secretary General of the Order of Canada.

Who's affected#

• Directly: Peter Dalglish and Jacques Lamarre — they are no longer members of the Order of Canada.
• Indirectly: people or groups who follow national honours, and anyone with a specific interest in these two individuals or in the honours system. The Gazette notice does not say why the terminations happened.

Why it matters#

• Losing an appointment removes a person's official standing as a member of the Order of Canada, which is one of the country's highest civilian honours.
• The Canada Gazette is the official public record for honours and their changes, so this notice makes the terminations part of the public record.
