Carolyn King, C.M. Appointed Member of the Order of Canada

Elder Carolyn King, C.M., former Chief and a Member of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Ontario has received the Order of Canada, one of our country’s highest honours. Presented by the governor general, the Order honours people whose service shapes our society; whose innovations ignite our imaginations; and whose compassion unites our communities.

Kings appointment was for her expertise in community development, her advocacy of Indigenous-led initiatives, and her efforts to improve Canadians’ understanding of First Nations.

Each recipient will be invited to accept their insignia at a ceremony to be held at a later date.  Story to follow in the next issue of the Eaglepress.

The Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation send out a community congratulations on your appointment to the Order of Canada.
