The online ceremony was organized to present the insignia of the Order to 1 Companion, 1 Officer and 4 Members whose loved ones added a beautiful personal touch by taking an active role in the presentation of the insignia. Organized in response to public health constraints limiting gatherings, the virtual investiture was the first of its kind in the history of Canadian honours. In-person investiture ceremonies will resume when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, virtual honours ceremonies are being explored as a valuable alternative, in order to recognize excellence in a timely fashion.
