BioWare co-founders inducted into the Order of Canada

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/bioware-co-founders-inducted-into-the-order-of-canada.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka, two of the original co-founders of BioWare, have been named members of the Order of Canada, an honor reserved for those deemed to have enriched the lives of others and made a difference to Canada through their actions and achievements.</p>
<p>The duo is among 103 Canadians receiving the honor this year, alongside an author, playwright, Olympian, and broadcaster, among others. </p>
<p>Zeschuk and Muzyka, alongside several others, founded BioWare in Edmonton, Alberta in 1995 following their graduation from medical school. In an <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/order-of-canada-bioware-blind-enthusiasm-1.4959430">interview with CBC</a>, the pair say that BioWare’s early roots in Alberta helped the current industry establish its roots in the region. </p>
<p>“We did it here in Edmonton,” Zeschuk told CBC.  “We didn’t start it and go off somewhere else.”</p>
<p>The pair left BioWare and retired from the game industry as a whole in 2012, but remained in Canada and continue to work toward bettering their communities. </p>
<p>“It’s not just what we did at BioWare, it’s what we continue to do to try to make everything around us better,” Zeschuk told CBC. “I think that’s a key part of it, how we do it and how our philosophy around making a business and building businesses and working with people, building people up.”</p>
