Canadian The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents Named Medal

The Canadian The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents Named Medal is a commemorative award recognizing individual efforts in promoting safety and accident prevention in Canada. Established by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, this medal is typically circular, made of metal, and bears the Society’s insignia and name. The obverse generally features the Society’s coat of arms or emblem, while the reverse includes text detailing the recipient’s name and, in some instances, a citation of their achievement. Such medals were often presented to both civilians and members of the military or civil service who demonstrated notable commitment to public safety, accident prevention, or lifesaving initiatives. This medal represents a formal recognition of personal contributions to safety culture in Canada. It is of particular interest to collectors of Canadian militaria, medals, and historical awards due to its association with national public safety efforts and its context within Canadian honors systems.
