In addition to the musical group, two other Newfoundlanders were named to the Order. Dr. Conor Maguire for his contributions to the medical field, and Prof. Douglas Dunsmore for his work with both provincial and national music programs.
The Order of Canada is the second-highest honour in Canada after the Order of Merit. Appointees to the order are recommended by an advisory board and formally inducted by the Governor General.
