Notes

"Canon Ken Cowan, who was born 50 years after Confederation, before the end of First World War, and before his birth-province of Saskatchewan became a teenager, was presented with a Canada 150th Anniversary Medal January 21 [2018] at his home parish of Christ Church Bells Corners, in the Anglican diocese of Ottawa". The Rev. Kathryn Otley, rector of Christ Church nominated Cowan for the medal. "She noted that Cowan became a deacon in 1941 and a priest in 1942, for a total of 77 years of ordained service". "Cowan, who is also honorary assistant at the church, is confined to a wheelchair and wears a hearing aid, but attends services each Sunday and participates in discussions about church issues". "Following his retirement 30 years ago at the age of 70, the Cowans led almost 50 different land and cruise tours for Toronto-based Craig Travel". "Canon Ken Cowan turned 101 in March [2018]".
