Tom Traves served as Dalhousie’s president for 18 years, and Canada is saying thank you.

Governor General David Johnson ended 2013 by announcing 90 appointments to the Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest civilian honours. Near the bottom of the list, which included the members of Blue Rodeo, was Traves.

The Nova Scotia native will be invited to Ottawa later this year to receive his new insignia. He was selected to receive the honour for his “contributions to post-secondary education in Nova Scotia, notably through his presidency of Dalhousie University,” according to the governor general’s website.
