( Order of Ontario)
The Order of Ontario is a prestigious society in the Canadian province of Ontario. Created in 1986 by then Lieutenant Governor Lincoln Alexander, induction into the order is the highest official honour in the province. The order recognizes individual excellence and achievement in any field, but is not awarded for acts of bravery. When a Lieutenant Governor is sworn in, he or she automatically becomes Chancellor of the order during the terms of office, and, as such, a member for life. Each year, inductees are selected by an advisory council consisting of the Chief Justice of Ontario (chair), the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and the Secretary of the Cabinet, as well as other members of the order. The order can be awarded to residents or former long-term residents of Ontario, who are not sitting elected federal, provincial, or municipal representatives. The order may not be awarded posthumously; however, candidates who are alive when they are nominated but who die before being inducted into the order remain eligible. Members of the order may use the post-nominal letters OOnt following their names. The insignia of the order is a stylized trillium, in white and green enamel, edged in gold. In the centre of the trillium is the provincial shield of arms, surmounted by a Crown. The ribbons are red (the colour of the Ontario Ensign), white, green and gold.
