Actor Ryan Reynolds received the honor of Officer of the Order of Canada for his contributions to the nation, including his philanthropy.
VANCOUVER — 'Deadpool' actor Ryan Reynolds thanked the country after he was named as an officer of the Order of Canada, saying the nation shaped and continues to inspire him. In a short statement, the B.C. native and movie superstar told Canada he was 'yours forever — just a bit more officery now' and 'deeply honoured' to the core of his soul.
Reynolds was one of 88 people to be appointed to the Order of Canada this week alongside scientists, advocates and artists, all deemed to have made extraordinary contributions to the nation. Gov.-Gen. Mary Simon's office praised him for his philanthropy, including with Water First Education, Covenant House Vancouver and the Sick Kids Foundation. Other appointees include curler Kevin Martin, LGBTQ+ advocate Diane Pitre, author Maureen Jennings and executive Randy Lennox, who led companies including Universal Music Canada and Bell Media. Last year Reynolds received his home province's top honour when he was named to the Order of British Columbia.
