Governor General Announces Appointments To The Order Of Canada
Congratulations to Martha Lou Henley on her appointment to the Order of Canada!
The Order of Canada was established in 1967 to recognize a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to community and service to the nation. Ms. Henley is one of 54 new appointments announced by His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada.
Ms. Henley (“Louie”) is recognized for her patronage of music and the arts in Canada. Besides supporting Vancouver Recital Society, Music Fest Vancouver, Music in the Morning and a dozen other arts and culture organizations, Ms. Henley has been instrumental in the creation of several Vancouver Opera productions, including the world premiere of Lillian Alling, VO’s Golden Anniversary Concert & Gala, and the productions of Norma and Nixon in China during VO’s Golden Anniversary Season.
The VO staff, Chorus and Orchestra join the entire arts community in celebrating this outstanding and well-deserved honour.
