2025 Canadian honours
The following are the appointments to various Canadian Honours of 2025. Usually, they are announced as part of the New Year and Canada Day celebrations and are published within the Canada Gazette during year. This follows the custom set out within the United Kingdom which publishes its appoints of various British Honours for New Year's and for monarch's official birthday. However, instead of the midyear appointments announced on Victoria Day, the official birthday of the Canadian Monarch, this custom has been transferred with the celebration of Canadian Confederation and the creation of the Order of Canada.
However, as the Canada Gazette publishes appointment to various orders, decorations and medal, either Canadian or from Commonwealth and foreign states, this article will reference all Canadians so honoured during the 2025 calendar year.
Provincial Honours are not listed within the Canada Gazette, however they are listed within the various publications of each provincial government. Provincial honours are listed within the page.
The first appointments to the Order of Canada were announced on 18 December 2024.[1]
More appointments were announced during the year.[2][3][4][5][6]
All listed postnominals are postnominals held by a person immediately prior to their appointment to a given order.
