Two Order of Canada Appointments Terminated

Summary#

The Canada Gazette published a notice that the appointments of Mr. Peter Dalglish and Mr. Jacques Lamarre to the Order of Canada were ended by an ordinance signed by the Governor General on April 15, 2026. The notice was published on May 16, 2026 and was signed for publication by Ken MacKillop.

What it does#

• Removes Mr. Peter Dalglish and Mr. Jacques Lamarre from the Order of Canada.
• Records that the removal was made by an ordinance signed by the Governor General on April 15, 2026.
• Publishes that action in the Canada Gazette on May 16, 2026, with Ken MacKillop listed as the Secretary General of the Order of Canada.

The notice itself does not explain why the appointments were terminated.

Who's affected#

• Mr. Peter Dalglish and Mr. Jacques Lamarre directly — they are no longer members of the Order of Canada.
• The Order of Canada and any organizations or lists that reference current members (they may need to update records).
• Anyone tracking honours, biographies, or official recognition tied to these individuals.

If you want more detail about the reason for the removals, the Gazette notice does not provide it; you would need to look for separate statements or reports.

Why it matters#

• Losing an appointment to the Order of Canada means the individuals no longer hold that national honour and should not use its title or insignia.
• The notice updates the official public record. That can affect biographies, institutional profiles, news reporting, and historical records.
• Because the Gazette notice gives no reason, the public record is incomplete and some people may look for further information from other sources.
