Shania Twain, O.C.
Switzerland and Timmins, Ontario
Officer of the Order of Canada
The rags-to-riches story of Canadian superstar Shania Twain has become
legendary. Although impoverished materially as a child, she was instilled
with a strong sense of pride by her family. Even then, music played an
important role in her day-to-day life. Today, she enjoys enormous success,
yet she remains true to her roots. Dedicated to eliminating child hunger,
she supports a number of food distribution agencies like food banks and
breakfast programs in schools. From small-town Ontario to the pinnacle of
the entertainment industry, her journey has inspired countless other
emerging musicians.
