Eligibility and Criteria

Have made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community of Canada, or have made an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada, and

Be alive on 6 May 2023. The award can be made posthumously, as long as the candidate was alive on that date.

The list of partners in this medal program and their allocation of medals have been confirmed. During the anniversary year, 30,000 medals will be awarded, of which 4,000 will recognize members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

The military selection criteria is based on merit and includes guidelines to ensure the recipients are representative of the CAF population, Regular and Reserve, including Cadet Instructors and Canadian Rangers. The CAF leadership directed that recognition will be focused on the work of those in lower ranks for both the NCM and officer corps, which are so critical to our operational success, particularly as we rebuild the CAF to its authorized strength. Therefore, the vast majority of medals will go to non-commissioned members up to the rank of Petty Officer 1st Class/Warrant Officer and to officers up to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander/Major. A small number will also go to the ranks of Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class/Master Warrant Officer, Chief Petty Officer 1st Class/Chief Warrant Officer and Commander/Lieutenant-Colonel. The allocation of medals for the military will be administered by the Directorate of Honours and Recognition (DH&R).

To honour public service employees, medals have also been allocated to federal departments and agencies, including DND. Nominations will be made in accordance with the criteria above and using selection guidelines to ensure that recipients reflect the diversity of the department. The allocation of medals for public service employees within DND will be administered by the Corporate Awards and Recognition Team at ADM(HR-Civ).

Members of the Defence Team seeking details on criteria and selection guidelines may consult the Defence Information Network (DIN) where CANFORGEN 063/24 refers.
