Since serving in uniform, many of Canada's Veterans have continued to provide outstanding service to their country, their communities, and their fellow Veterans. To formally recognize those contributions, the Governor General has authorized the creation of the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation.

The Commendation will be awarded annually to those exceptional Veterans who have contributed in an exemplary manner to the care and well-being of Veterans; and/or to the remembrance of the contributions, sacrifices and achievements of Veterans.

The Commendation is intended primarily for Veterans, but in rare circumstances may be awarded to non-Veterans. The Commendation may also be awarded posthumously.
