Armorial of the governors general of Canada

Armorial of the governors general of Canada at Rideau Hall (photograph taken during the tenure of Julie Payette)

The following is an armorial of the thirty individuals, who have served as governor general of Canada since Confederation.

To date, all governors general have been granted armorial achievements, otherwise known as coats of arms, with the most recent being granted to Mary Simon in 2022.

Prior to 1952, the majority of governors general inherited their arms and as such the designs of those arms usually do not reflect them personally. Plaster carvings of the coats of arms of the first twelve governors general after confederation, from Lord Monck to Lord Byng, are displayed in the chambers of the Speaker of the Senate of Canada.[1][2]
