When was the Order of Canada established?

  1. 1980

  2. 1967

  3. 1969

  4. 1994

The correct answer is: 1967

The Order of Canada is a national order recognizing exceptional merit and contributions to Canada. It was established in 1967 as part of the Canadian Centennial celebrations. This makes the answer option B the correct one. Option A is incorrect because 1980 is not the year in which the Order of Canada was established. It was instead officially created on July 1, 1967, by Queen Elizabeth II. Option C is also incorrect because although it is only two years after the establishment of the Order of Canada, it is still not the correct year. Option D is incorrect because 1994 is much later than the establishment of the Order of Canada. It was not until 1996 when major changes were made to the structure and criteria of the Order of Canada. In summary, the correct answer is B, 1967, as this was the year in which the Order of Canada was established.
