Stuart McLean, the host of the CBC Radio program The Vinyl Cafe, was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
The Order of Canada recognizes a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation.
Chosen by an independent panel based on nominations from the public, the order has three levels of membership — companion, officer and member.
Created in 1967, Canada’s System of Honours recognizes outstanding individuals for their dedication, bravery, valour and sustained contributions to our country. These honours are presented, on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen, by His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, during ceremonies held at Rideau Hall, in Ottawa, and at the Citadelle of Quebec.
The awards will be presented by the Governor General at a ceremony at a later date.
Congratulations to Stuart from Creative PR!

The Vinyl Cafe walked away with two 1st Place Awards; Most Licensed Group & Most Licensed Series!
One of Canada’s most popular radio programs, with over 750,000 North American listeners. Host and story-teller Stuart McLean is a best-selling author and award-winning journalist and humorist. The show features the music of up and coming Canadians — both live and recorded — and the misadventures of Dave — owner of the “Vinyl Cafe”, the world’s smallest record store (motto: “We may not be big, but we’re small”). Dave’s fictional milieu includes wife, Morley, their two children, Sam and Stephanie, and assorted friends, neighbors, and customers. Since 1998, Stuart has taken the show on the road to large and small towns across Canada from Newfoundland to the Yukon.
Liner Notes won for Most Licensed Debut Group.
Unlike any travel show on public radio, LINER NOTES is a journey in itself. A not-to-be-missed celebration of wit, wisdom and wanderlust.
Recorded over lunch at the Captain’s table aboard the legendary Queen Mary 2®, destinations as they are and as they exist in literature, painting, film, music and myth are discovered in monthly, hour-long “Algonquin Roundtable” gatherings of notable and award-winning authors, artists, journalists and musicians. Each conversation will raise themes relating to travel, such as “Falling in Love with a Place”, “The Benefits of Wandering,” “Lost in Translation,” or “Ex-Patriot Dreams.”
FIVE of our shows were in the TOP TEN for Most Licensed Piece from PRX.
Congratulations to all of our winners!
