2009 Canadian honours Last updated November 09, 2025 Canadian government recognitions
The Seal of the Order of Canada The following are the appointments to various Canadian Honours of 2009 . 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 2009 calendar year.
