A proclamation, issued by Roland Michener, Chancellor and Principal Companion of the Order of Canada, on the appointment of W.B. Lewis to Companion of the Order of Canada. The proclamation was signed 22 December 1967 at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Also found packaged in the mailing tube that contains the proclamation is a 36 cm by 46 cm, sepia, portrait of Dr. Lewis. It is unclear if this is an “official” portrait that marks the appointment or if it was added at a later date. The mailing label on the tube shows the sender to be Government House in Ottawa and the addressee is Dr. Lewis at 33 Beach Avenue, Deep River.
