Canada has, without doubt, the most difficult history to compile in a reader friendly manner. This page lists the awards to the "Regular Forces".

A separate page contains the recipients for the Canadian Army (Militia), the Canadian Forces (Reserve) and the RCMP.

It must be noted, however, that members of the RCMP were entitled to compete for the Regular medal from 1953-63, although no members of the RCMP actually won this award.

From 1964 members of the RCMP competed against the Canadian Army (Militia) and from 1968 the Canadian Forces (Reserve).

On 28 August 1991 a new Canadian Queen's Medal was introduced to replace the British award (see below). This medal was first awarded in the summer of 1992.
