John Drainie was on the short list in 1966 to be one of the first group of recipients to the Order of Canada at its initial investiture on 1 July 1967.
However he was ill at that time and subsequently died on 30 October 1976 after being proposed for this ultimate Canadian honour where he , most unfortunately eight months later on, was not ultimately awarded this high decoration as it is never given posthumously.
