Did You Know? Lapel Pins

Order of Canada lapel pin

Whether you have lost or misplaced your lapel pins, or simply want a few more, the Chancellery of Honours will provide members of the Order of Canada with extras free of charge.

Please contact us at 1-800-465-6890 or write to us at ordersadmin@gg.ca.

Lapel etiquette: When to wear them

Lapel pins are worn daily with civilian dress, when the wearing of full-size insignia or miniature insignia is not appropriate. They are worn over the heart, on the left lapel if you are wearing a jacket, or on other clothing in a similar position.

We encourage you to wear them proudly!
