The Order of Polaris is given out by the Government of Yukon Territory in Canada for:

• great service to the territory

The Order of Polaris was created by the Government of the Yukon Territory in 1973, to honour members of the Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame, especially those who flew over the Yukon. The medal and scroll were presented by the Commissioner of the Yukon Territory (or designate) at a ceremony at the Transportation Hall of Fame in Whitehorse.
