About

The MSD (Civil Division) program recognizes individuals who have performed an exceptional deed or activity over a limited period of time. These individuals are being recognized for bringing honour to their community or to Canada.

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.

There are two levels of decorations: a cross and a medal. The different levels reflect the scope and impact of the activity or deed. The MSD (Civil Division) is one of the highest distinctions an individual can receive.
