The Order of Canada is the latest honor to be added to Joni's ever-lengthening list of awards, with a July 4 announcement by Governor General Adrienne Clarkson reported by the CBC. Established in 1967, Canada's highest award for lifetime achievement is given out at three levels; Joni was appointed to the highest one, the Companion level. This year, four Companion level awards were announced, along with 28 Officer level appointments and 65 Member level appointments, all made on the recommendation of an advisory council headed by the Chief Justice of Canada.

Updated: The "Songs About Joni" list and the "Contributions" list. Check out the list of songs about or inspired by Joni, and the list of recordings by other artists that she appears on, both in the MUSIC section of the site. Thanks to Simon Montgomery for his research.
