Governor General Performing Arts Award
Learning she'd been awarded Canada's highest honour in the performing arts elicited two extreme emotions from jazz singer and philanthropist Molly Johnson.

On one hand, she says she was "gobsmacked" and "shocked" to be among those getting a Governor General's Performing Arts Award for lifetime artistic achievement.
​
Fellow laureates named Thursday morning include singer k.d. lang, soprano Rosemarie Landry, playwright Michel Marc Bouchard and choreographer James Kudelka..
