The Order of Grenada is an order of chivalry and a society of honour instituted through the Grenada National Honours Act of 1994. The Order was subsequently reconstituted and substantially reformed by the National Honours and Awards Act of 2007.

The order recognises distinguished and outstanding service or meritorious service or achievement, or for gallantry. Nationals of Grenada and non-nationals may receive this order.

Appointment

Appointments to the order are made by the governor-general of Grenada, as chancellor, who acts on the advice of the prime minister of Grenada and the National Awards Advisory Committee.

The governor-general is formally advised by the National Awards Advisory Committee which consists of a citizen of Grenada appointed by the governor-general after consultation with the prime minister of Grenada and the leader of the opposition, the chairperson of the Public Service Commission, the commissioner of Police, two persons representative of the public appointed by the governor-general, one of whom is nominated by the prime minister and one nominated by the leader of the opposition, and two persons appointed by the governor-general after consultation with civil society and with the religious community.

Awards are usually announced each year on the occasion of the National Day of Grenada – 7 February.

Composition

The Order of Grenada consists of the Chancellor (Governor-General of Grenada), and of six individual awards:

The Companion of the Order of Grenada
The Order of Grenada Gold Award for Excellence
The Spice Isle Award
The Camerhogne Award
The Medal of Honour
The Most Distinguished Order of the Nation, which is an order of Knighthood.

Citizens of other countries may be admitted to the order as members ad honorem.

The governor-general may also award outside of the National Honours and Award Act the Governor-General Medal of Honour in gold, silver or bronze in recognition of personal service to the Crown, the governor-general or the fofice of the governor-general. This award is used across other Caribbean realms including Saint Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda, having been approved by Queen Elizabeth II for that purpose.
