A Member of the Order of Canada, 2004, Member of the Order of Manitoba, 2003, Recipient of the HRH Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, 2002, and HRH Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, 2012 -- Loreena has also been appointed as Honorary Colonel with the Royal Canadian Air Force -- She now lives in Stratford Ontario.
