The Order of Montreal (French: Ordre de Montréal) is a municipal order awarded to residents of the city of Montreal.[1] It was established in May 2016, by then-mayor Denis Coderre.[2]

History[]

Montreal held a design competition for artists to design the medals that would be presented to recipients of the Order of Montreal; the winning design was made by Jacques Desbiens.[3][4] As a municipal order, it is not directly ranked in the Canadian honours system.

The Order, like the Order of Canada and National Order of Quebec, has three ranks consisting of (in descending order) commander, officer, and knight. Each year, three commanders, six officers, and eight knights are invested. The Order of Montreal succeeded the  [fr], a special honour that was created in 1988 by the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal and terminated in 2015.[1] All recipients of that honour were awarded the Order of Montreal in December 2016 with the rank of Commander.[5][6]
