B.C.’s Julio Montaner, Wally Buono named to Order of Canada

World-renowned HIV/AIDS researcher Julio Montaner and BC Lions general manager Wally Buono are two of six British Columbians named to the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian honour.

Montaner’s work includes pioneering an HIV cocktail that was adopted by the World Health Organization and the UNAIDS program in 2000. Earlier this year Montaner was selected for induction into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.

Buono is the Canadian Football League’s all-time winningest coach, leading the Lions to Grey Cup wins in 2006 and 2011.

Other prominent Canadians who made the list include sports announcer Bob Cole, former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney and singer Chantal Kreviazuk.
