Twelve Manitobans — athletes, activists and authors among them— will receive Manitoba’s highest honour on Thursday.

The special ceremony, to induct the honoured dozen into the Order of Manitoba, will be held at 4 p.m. at the legislative building.

The order recognizes those who have benefited the social, cultural or economic well-being of the province.
