Inductees
One of the most cherished interpreters of Canada’s rugged landscape, Doris McCarthy was the recipient of the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario, as well as numerous fellowships and honourary doctorates from institutions across Canada, including the University of Toronto and the Ontario College of Art and Design. In 1999, she was named the first Artist of Honour by the McMichael Canadian Collection.
McCarthy was devoted to education throughout her life and graduated from the University of Toronto Scarborough in 1989 with an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree. In 2004 the University of Toronto opened The Doris McCarthy Gallery, a testament to her place in the canon of great Canadian artists.
A passionate advocate for the arts in her community, McCarthy designed Scarborough's flag and was a founding member of the Scarborough Arts Council. She was a recipient of Scarborough's Civic Award of Merit and Scarborough's Doris McCarthy Trail was named in her honour.
McCarthy lived in Scarborough for over fifty years. In 1999, she donated her beloved property, Fool's Paradise, along with a $500,000 endowment, to Ontario Heritage. Ontario Heritage took over the property after her death in 2010.
