The Order of Canada recognizes people who make "extraordinary contributions to the nation," according to the Governor General of Canada's website, and this year Andy Kim is among those who are receiving this honour. From his Facebook account:

ANDY KIM Appointed To The Order Of Canada
When I got the call, I wondered if this was a trick of some kind. When I realized it was true, I was overwhelmed with tears welling up thinking of my Mom and Dad, both immigrants, from the mountains of Lebanon, who met each other in Montréal, had four boys and loved the country of our birth. We didn’t have much but soon realized we are living in a country that rewarded hard work and dreamers and accepted all races and ethnicity. My parents always reminded us about how great and caring Canada was to them. I am honoured to be part of this beautiful country where people often find the impossible.
