Cree actress, producer and advocate Tina Keeper of Winnipeg, who will also be named a member of the Order of Canada, is taking the honour as a chance to reflect on her roots. Also on the list is U.S.-Canadian submersible expert Patrick Lahey, the first deaf NHL player Jim Kyte, and Christi Belcourt, a Metis visual artist, environmentalist and social justice advocate who devotes much of her time to supporting Indigenous language revitalization. Many of her intricate artworks can be found in public art collections across North America, Rideau Hall said.
"Unbeknownst to most people, the 20th century -- as far as magic goes internationally -- was really Canada's century. The greatest magicians, the ones who had the greatest impact on the evolution of magic as a performing art or craft were Canadian," said the 63-year-old Ben. "One of the measuring sticks is, you can tell if someone is ready for the knowledge...by the questions they ask."Magician David Ben is shown in a handout photo.
