The
orders, decorations, and medals of the Canadian provinces, in which each
province of
Canada has devised a system of
orders and awards to honour residents for actions or deeds that benefit their local community or province, are in turn subsumed within the
Canadian honours system. Each province sets their own rules and criteria on eligibility and also how each medal is awarded and presented. Most of the orders allow for the recipient to wear their orders in public, and most grant the recipients the use of
post-nominal letters in their names.
