Congratulations to Gord Walker on Being Named to the Order of Canada
Gord Walker worked tirelessly on the International Joint Commission (IJC) for four years as a Commissioner in the 90’s and more recently five years as Canadian Chair. As a long standing Cognashene cottager, Gord has a deep understanding of Georgian Bay issues and continues to be of invaluable help to GBA and others. Noting his seven year tenure as an Ontario government minister, the Member of the Order citation read: Gordon W. Walker, Toronto. For his civil service as a parliamentarian and for his commitment to protecting transboundary waters between Canada and the United States. This award is richly deserved.
Gord Walker along with former IJC US Chair Lana Pollack wrote the forward for The First Century of the International Joint Commission, a book chronicling the fascinating history of the IJC. The book can be read here.
