Farah Mohamed receives Meritorious Service Decorations Award from the Government of Canada

His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, on the recommendation of the Civil Advisory Committee, has awarded Meritorious Service Decorations (Civil Division) to Farah Mohamed.

Farah Mohamed is the CEO of Malala Funds Foundation and G(irls)20 Foundation.

Created by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Meritorious Service Decorations recognize Canadians for exceptional deeds that bring honour to our country. The cross was originally created in 1984, for members of the military. In 1991, a medal was added to the military division, and both the cross and medal were introduced for civilians.

The Meritorious Service Decorations are an important part of the Canadian Honours System and highlight remarkable achievements that are accomplished over a limited period of time.
