TOM RECEIVES THE ORDER OF CANADA
The pantheon of distinguished Canadians grew to include 43 new Order of Canada recipients in a ceremony presided over by Gov.-Gen. Michaelle Jean yesterday. In the gilded ballroom of Rideau Hall, the country's highest civilian honour was bestowed upon leading scientists, doctors, philanthropists, performers, politicians, and one iconic rocker. Tom Cochrane became an officer of the Order of Canada for "songs that recount stories and dreams that are unabashedly Canadian," and for his humanitarian efforts in fighting global poverty. HUMBLING EXPERIENCE "This is such a high honour for me and a humbling honour because you hear so many of these incredible stories," said Cochrane. "I helped lend a voice to some of these causes, and hopefully this is an inspiration." Cochrane had praise for the Order of Canada selection committee's focus on community builders. "I'm not sure if anything in the world would start at the grassroots like this, and those are the real heroes," he said. "Sometimes I think there's a lot of people that deserve it more than me that may not get it."
HELLO! INSIDE THE LIFE OF TC
This week HELLO! Canada magazine takes you inside the life of Canadian-born rock icon Tom Cochrane. The musician threw open the doors of his lovely house in Oakville, Ontario, for an exclusive interview and photo session with his beautiful wife Kathy and their two daughters, Cody, now 24, and Evanne, 21.
In an expansive five-page feature, the Life Is A Highway rocker talks candidly about how his famous hit song's words ring especially true to his own experiences. Despite all the success, it has been a "bumpy road at times”, the seven-time Juno award winner confesses.
