Three Islanders invested in Order of Prince Edward Island

A special ceremony was held Wednesday with Lieutenant Governor Antoinette Perry to invest this year’s recipients of the Order of Prince Edward Island.  Invested in the Order this year were Kathryn Dau-Schmidt, for her tireless commitment to the teaching and promotion of traditional fiddling on PEI; Dr. G. Edward MacDonald, for his exceptional research of Island history and for increasing the understanding and appreciation of Island culture; and Reginald “Dutch” Thompson, for his steadfast dedication to recording the first-hand stories and lived experiences of Islanders from times gone by. This year’s recipients were selected from a total of 49 nominees.
