The Seal of the Order of Canada

The following are the appointments to various Canadian Honours of 2013. Usually, they are announced as a part of the New Year and Canada Day celebrations and are published within the Canada Gazette. This follows the custom set out within the United Kingdom which publishes its appoints of various British Honours for New Year's and for the 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 medals, either Canadian or from Commonwealth and foreign states, this article will reference all Canadians so honoured during the 2013 calendar year.[1]

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.[2][3]
