I'm not sure this is the place for it, but it does seem that one rather notable young Canadian who is listed here, (an Order of Ontario 2003 Recipient) Ryan Hreljac, may be deserving of having an entry here in Wikipedia. In terms of information for such an article, there is a book about him (Ryan and Jimmy : And the Well in Africa That Brought Them Together), as well as a website: [ [1]]. Maybe he's a good basis for a first original article for someone like me to contribute?

Please see http://www.citizenship.gov.on.ca/english/about/b121206.htm for a list of the latest appointees to the Order of Ontario. The 2004 appointees (announced in 2005) are listed at http://www.citizenship.gov.on.ca/english/about/n070905-2.htm -- TruthbringerToronto ( Talk | contribs) 22:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
what is the rationale for precedence among the provincial orders? i realize that this is mostly academic, as the probabilty is slim of one individual holding more than one. Toyokuni3 ( talk) 15:19, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Many recipients from 1987 to 1999 were missing. I have filled the list with all current recipients, but will need help adding a note about who many are. Guinness323 ( talk) 02:34, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
This article should not just include the names of those prominent enough to warrant a wikipage, unless the article states that this is a selected list of prominent members, and another article with a full list is created and referred to in this article. Note that several "wiki-less" names have had wiki articles created (example: Angela Coughlan) or have been linked to existing pages once name changes have been made to conform to article title. Guinness323 ( talk) 16:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
The L-G appears to only be chancellor during his or her term in office, and does not seem to retain membership beyond this. Otherwise, why have former Chancellors Lincoln Alexander, Hal Jackman and James Bartelman been inducted after their term is over? If you can source an explanation, excellent. Otherwise, I have removed that point for now. Guinness323 ( talk) 01:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Since recipients were being removed first by not having a wiki article of their own, and then by some perceived notion of "importance", it is clear that choosing who stays and who goes is a subjective exercise subject to endless argument. The most logical solution is to remove everyone and refer to article with entire list. Guinness323 ( talk) 04:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
I have updated the language from mid-nineteenth century to early 21st century. For a good lesson is modern English encyclopedic language, see corresponding article in Canadian Encyclopedia. Guinness323 ( talk) 04:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
[redent] From Wikipedia:About :"Many visitors come to this site to acquire knowledge..." Note that it does not say "Many university students come to this site" or "Many people with excellent English skills come to this site". Therein lies your answer.

This has become a pedantic discussion, and a rather pointless one. The article at present uses reasonable language. If there's a specific problem, let's focus on that. Otherwise, please drop this discussion or take it to your own talk pages. Thank you. PK T(alk) 17:06, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
There is no name attached to this, no details, and no way to find them out due to ministerial secrecy. Is this non-story an integral part of this article? Bureaucratic mistakes happen in any organization, so unless it has a significant impact on the structure of the award e.g. this error led to changes in the nomination process, it seems to be grafted onto an otherwise useful article. Guinness323 ( talk) 14:16, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Government documents on-line spell the post-nominal as "O.Ont." ("Members of the Order of Ontario can use the initials ‘O. Ont.’ after their name." from http://www.citizenship.gov.on.ca/english/honours/orderofontario/) However, this article describes the post-nominal as OOnt, sometimes rendered as O.Ont. Should we not follow the official government documentation, or at least list "O.Ont" first, perhaps as simply as new Members are entitled to use the post-nominal letters O.Ont or OOnt?

The mention of the Order of Ontario being a civilian honour has been removed, with the explanation for this move being that provinces don't have military honours, thus rendering the civilian distinction redundant. What about police honours, though? I believe they are not defined as civilian. -- Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:30, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
