Diplôme d'honneur

The Diplôme d'honneur is presented annually to a Canadian who has made a sustained contribution to the cultural life of the country, whether through volunteer activity, mentoring, patronage, individual arts practice or other recognized support. More than 70 of the visionaries and creators of Canada's rich cultural identity, including Glenn Gould, Maureen Forrester, Oscar Peterson, and last year's winner, Roch Carrier, have been recognized since the award's inception in 1954. The award is in the form of a silver talisman designed by the late Bill Reid.
