“It was a big surprise” he said. “It’s a pretty nice honour, it was not expected at all. It was pretty cool.”
In an announcement that might not be so surprising to those who know him and his work, Tookenay was revealed to be among the recipients of the Governor General of Canada’s Meritorious Service Decoration for February 2021.
