This chart shows the sequence of wear for the majority of modern Canadian orders, decorations and medals. Note that some awards such as those related to the two World Wars and Korea and some provincial awards have not been included as it is impossible or unlikely that they will be awarded to serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
