The following are the appointments to various Canadian Honours of 2017 . Usually, they are announced as part of the New Year and Canada Day celebrations and are published within the Canada Gazette during year. This follows the custom set out within the United Kingdom which publishes its appoints of various British Honours for New Year's and for monarch's official birthday. However, instead of the midyear appointments announced on Victoria Day , the official birthday of the Canadian Monarch , this custom has been transferred with the celebration of Canadian Confederation and the creation of the Order of Canada
