List of Canadian organizations with royal prefix

The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, given its royal prefix by Order in Council of the Crown in Right of Ontario in 1912. It is under the patronage of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.

This is a list of Canadian organizations with designated royal status, listed by the king or queen who granted the designation.

As a matter of honour, the Canadian monarch may bestow on an organization the right to use the prefix royal before its name; this may be done for any type of constituted group, from Royal Ottawa Golf Club to the Royal Canadian Regiment. The granting of this distinction falls within the Royal Prerogative, and thus is conferred by the monarch through the office of her viceroy, with input from the Department of Canadian Heritage on whether or not the institution meets the criteria of having been in existence for at least 25 years, being financially secure, and a non-profit organization, amongst others.^[1]
