These rights are enshrined in a governing Corporate Constitution. Mr. Stronach has served on numerous corporate, government and university boards and has provided assistance to a wide range of charitable and community service organizations. He is the recipient of a Doctor of Philosophy, Honoris Causa from Haifa University in Israel, a Doctor of Laws, Honoris Causa LL.D. from the University College of Cape Breton, and a Doctor of Commerce, Honoris Causa from St. Mary's University in Halifax. In 1996, Mr. Stronach was inducted into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame.

In 1999, he was named a recipient of the Order of Canada and in 2000 he won the Ernst & Young "Entrepreneur of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award". In 2002, the Canadian Council for International Business named Mr. Stronach as the 2001 "Canadian International Executive of the Year", and in 2004 he received the Yves Landry Foundation "Person of the Year" Award for his achievement in promoting technological education and technical skills training.
