The Alberta Order of Excellence (French: Ordre d'excellence de l'Alberta) is a civilian honour for merit in the Canadian province of Alberta. Instituted in 1979 when Lieutenant Governor Frank C. Lynch-Staunton granted royal assent to the Alberta Order of Excellence Act,[1] the order is administered by the Governor-in-Council and is intended to honour current or former Alberta residents for conspicuous achievements in any field,[2][3] being thus described as the highest honour amongst all others conferred by the Canadian Crown in right of Alberta.[2]
