Roland Michener (1900–1991) was appointed Governor General in 1967, the same year that Canada celebrated 100 years of Confederation. On July 1, 1967, the Order of Canada was born and Governor General Michener presided over the first presentation ceremony in November of the same year. After his term as Governor General ended in 1974, the vice-regal couple moved to Toronto and Mr. Michener served as Chancellor of Queen’s University until 1980.
