Governor-General David Hurley congratulated all the recipients and highlighted the impact their service had on communities at the local, national and international level.

鈥淩ecipients come from all parts of the country.听 They have served and had an impact in just about every field you can imagine; their stories and backgrounds are diverse. We value their service, thank them for their hard work and selflessness and, today, celebrate them,鈥 the Governor-General said.
