Wearing of full size multiple medals on uniform

[Gunner98]

Let's try this again, it is the Vice Regal Badge of Service - In 1999 The Queen approved the design of a distinctive Vice-Regal Badge of Service for serving Lieutenant Governors (gold) and their spouses (silver).

Sorry cupper for edit after being quoted - as indicated by other posters, it is a symbol of Lt-Gov office.

I believe his lapel pin indicates that he is the Chancellor of the Alberta Order of Excellence.

Per my previous,

From what I can tell, it may have something to do with the appointment as Lt. Gov. Looking at Lt. Gov. Francis from Nova Scotia, she has the same decoration on her lapel as well.

Possibly indicates a Privy Council Member, or Queens Council, or some related appointment or symbol of office?

The Vice-Regal Recognition Badge.

Vice-Regal Recognition Badge

Upon assumption of office, the Lieutenant Governor is presented with two vice-regal Recognition Badges. The full-sized badge is a star shaped badge measuring six centimetres across, made of sterling silver, enameled in Canada's national colours, red and white, and defaced in the centre with a gold maple leaf surmounted by a Royal Crown. The badge is worn on the left side of a suit, dress or blouse. The lapel-sized badge measures three centimetres in height and is circular in shape, with red and white enamel, and a single gold maple leaf in the centre surmounted by a Royal Crown. The lapel badge is suitable for less formal functions, and can be worn on the lapel, similar to the way that the Order of Canada and Order of Nova Scotia lapel pins are worn by recipients of those orders.

The vice-regal Recognition Badge was established by a vice-regal warrant on 27 January 1999 and the first badges were presented on 3 October 1999 by then Governor General Romeo LeBlanc. The first Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia to receive the vice-regal Recognition Badge was The Honourable James Kinley in 1999. If a Lieutenant Governor has a spouse the spouse is entitled to wear a similar badge, the main difference being that the maple leaf in the centre of the full size badge and lapel badge is silver in colour.

On that note, Good Night All! :cheers:

The OP has his answer and has calmed all your fears. If you wish to play "Where's Waldo" with the Lt. Governor's awards and decorations, start another thread.

Recceguy's kindly opened the thread momentarily to allow me to post a quick reply.

I just wanted to make it clear I wasn't expressing skepticism. Just honest, frank curiosity about the ability of one of our troops to do that much- and yes, I can 'read between the lines' on this one.

To the OP, and to all others.- my apologies if my words came out the wrong way and seemed to imply something I didn't intend. I didn't at all mean to take the thread down that direction, and I have no doubt that what you're saying is legit.

Cheers,

Brihard
