Yukon Recipients of Honours, Decorations, & Medals
Dateline: February 1, 2023
The Meritorious Service Decorations recognize Canadians for exceptional deeds that bring honour to our country. The cross was originally created in 1984, for members of the military. In 1991, a medal was added to the military division, and both the cross and medal were introduced for civilians.
The Meritorious Service Cross (M.S.C.) and the Meritorious Service Medal (M.S.M.) both recognize individuals who have performed an exceptional deed or activity over a limited period of time that has brought honour to a community or to Canada as a whole. This activity or deed is often innovative, sets an example or model for others to follow, or improves the quality of life in a community. It may benefit local, provincial, national or international populations. The different levels reflect the scope and impact of the activity or deed.
