The Canada Council for the Arts celebrates the exceptional careers of Canadian artists in Canada with the Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts (GGArts). These awards represent the most prestigious distinctions for excellence in visual and media arts in Canada. This year Ryan Reynolds and Catherine O’Hara were honoured.
Steven Paige from Barenaked Ladies fame sang an original song for Ryan and we think he loved it.
Last night, Canada honoured me with a Governor General's Award and this video. I'm not crying. It's just maple syrup. @stevenpage is a friend and legend for wasting this amazing song on me. Thank you to Her Excellency, @GGCanada, Mary Simon. #GGAwards @CanadasNAC I'm a wreck. pic.twitter.com/0ALteFw2QN

Noah Reid, who plays Patrick on Schitt’s Creek serenaded Catherine with an original song and lots of wigs!
And the Prime Minister congratulated all the award winners.
To this year’s incredible @GovGPAA laureates: thank you for the extraordinary contributions you have made to our country and its culture. You have touched people and changed lives from coast to coast to coast - and you deserve this recognition. Congratulations! #GGAwards https://t.co/8zvNBN50sF
