Memorable Manitobans: Manitoba Order of the CrocusIn June 1967, the Manitoba Centennial Corporation commemorated the 100th anniversary of Canadian Confederation by issuing a ceremonial scroll to 500 selected citizens over the age of 75 years.

McLean, Manitoba Centennial Corporation Chair Maitland Steinkopf, and a local community representative. The following persons were inducted as members of the Order of the Crocus.
