Canadian royal symbols are the visual and auditory identifiers of the Canadian monarchy and the monarch's viceroys, in both the country's federal and provincial jurisdictions. These may specifically distinguish authoritative organizations such as parliament or police forces establishments with royal associations, or merely be ways of expressing loyal or patriotic sentiment, their overall frequency making them a prevalent part of the everyday lives of Canadians. Most royal symbols in Canada are based on inherited predecessors from France, England, and Scotland, the evidence of which is still visible today, though over time adaptations have been made to include uniquely Canadian elements. Some representations were discarded during and after the 1970s, in an effort to appease Quebec separatism within an evolving Canadian identity, though others were, at the same time, created. Today, symbols of the monarchy can be seen in military badges, provincial and national coats of arms, royal prefixes, and eponymous names of geographical locations and monuments.
