Sub-series consists of recipient's files for those who have received a bravery decorations since 1972. A medal of courage was included in the Order of Canada in 1967, but it was found that a single medal would not serve to recognize in an equitable manner acts of bravery which entail varying degrees of risk. Consequently, no awards were made and in 1972 the single medal was superseded by a series of three decorations: the Cross of Valour (CV), the Star of Courage (SC) and the Medal of Bravery (MB). Instances of extraordinary heroism will be marked with the award of the Cross of Valour; other outstanding courageous actions may qualify for the award of the Star of Courage or the Medal of Bravery.

Bravery decorations are awarded with the approval of the sovereign by the Governor General on the advice of a decorations advisory committee.
