Since the establishment of the Order of Canada in 1967, the Canadian honours system has grown to become one of the most comprehensive in the world -- with more than 300,000 Canadians having been rewarded over the past fifty years.<br/><br/> Each honour in the modern Canadian honours system, and its precursor, the British imperial honours system, is examined here in detail, including historical background, design, and criteria for bestowal. With special chapters on heraldry, protocol, and the proper mounting and wearing of medals, <i>The Canadian Honours System</i> is an essential reference for anyone interested in Canadian honours.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Christopher McCreery holds a doctorate in Canadian political history from Queen_'s University and is the author of more than ten books.
