The Governor General of Canada continues this tradition of encouraging scholarship across the nation and recognizing outstanding students. Notable past recipients include prime ministers Kim Campbell and Pierre Trudeau, premiers Robert Bourassa, Tommy Douglas and Robert Stanfield, and author Gabrielle Roy.
