Pioneering jurist Marion Buller, the University of Victoria’s chancellor, former UVic president Jamie Cassels and Jan Zwicky, acclaimed poet and philosopher and professor emeritus
are among 85 new appointments to the Order of Canada.
Canadians selected for induction into the Order of Canada have made “extraordinary contributions” to the nation. Pioneering jurist Marion Buller is one of 85 new appointments
announced today by Governor General Mary Simon.
University of Victoria Professor and President Emeritus Jamie Cassels was appointed a member of the Order of Canada for his contributions as a university administrator, law
scholar, and for his commitment to improving access to higher education.
This year’s impressive lineup of distinguished alumni recipients, in three new categories, shows the breadth and depth of community contributions made by UVic grads, locally and
beyond.
New UVic Canada Research Chairs focus on Indigenous law, renewable energy research, substance use policy and marine fisheries adaptation.
Four top proposals have been selected in the 2021 Climate Solutions Challenge, a campus-wide contest for actionable climate ideas. The Challenge is an initiative of the Climate
Solutions Navigator with support from the Strategic Framework Impact Fund.
