Grey是加拿大的1904年到1911年的总督，原本想捐个杯给冰球比赛的，可惜让另一位爵士捷足先登了，只好退而求其次捐给并不是很popular的橄榄球了。

The Order of Canada是对有杰出贡献的Canadian的一种国家奖赏，算是劳模之类的，由总督颁发。从1967年开始至今已有四千人获此殊荣。
The Order of Canada奖章有三种，分别是Member, Officer 和 Companion，算是金银铜牌吧。

Kwong, who lives in Calgary, said he's not sure whether he'll have to move to Edmonton, especially since the province has torn down the lieutenant-governor's official residence.
