Story hereFrom the article:
The Governor General's office announced 95 appointments to the Order of Canada on Friday, including former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, Hockey Night in Canada announcer Bob Cole and AIDS research pioneer Dr. Julio Montaner.
Three Canadians were named companions, the order's highest tier. Among them was Dick Pound, a Montreal-based lawyer and former president of the World Anti-Doping Agency. He also served two stints as a vice-president of the International Olympic Committee.
