The Order of Collingwood was established in 1983, throughout the years the criteria has taken on many forms, but has always focused on recognizing exemplary volunteerism within the community. In 2003, the Companion of the Order was established to further recognize the volunteerism of previous recipients who continue to go above and beyond in their volunteer service to the community.
