Joe Baker received the Order of the Diocese of New Westminster last Saturday, November 7th, 2026, at St. Andrew’s-Wesley Church in Vancouver surrounded by friends from St. Dunstan's. During the service, 55 people from across the diocese were inducted into the order, created to recognize and honour lay members of the diocese who have shown exceptional dedication through volunteer ministry over a substantial period.
