Royal patronage — Canadian organizations

Members of the Royal Family may support or offer their patronage to various organizations devoted to diverse causes.

Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and accession to the Throne of His Majesty King Charles III, some patronages given to Canadian organizations may be transferred to different members of the Royal Family. This information will be confirmed in due course.

For questions or assistance on how to proceed, contact the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General.
