The 2026 Order of Canada appointments include people connected to U of T through alumni, teaching, research and public service. The list is a reminder that university influence is rarely confined to one profession.

Recognition is useful here as a map, not a finish line. It shows the range of work that can begin in a classroom and continue through institutions, communities and decades of attention.
