List of Keys to the City in Canada
The Key to the City is an award presented by a town or city's municipal government to esteemed residents or visitors whom the city wishes to honour. The award, usually an ornamental key, is generally presented by the mayor or some other public figure at an award ceremony. Some cities allow visiting celebrities to request that a key be granted to them, a practice which has resulted in some controversy.[1]

British Columbia
Municipalities in British Columbia grant the Freedom of the City, rather than a Key, to individuals worthy of recognition. In accordance with Section 158 of the Community Charter,[19] potential recipients must receive the unanimous support of the city council before they are granted the Freedom, which is then usually bestowed upon them during a special ceremony.
In the following list, where the date of the award ceremony is unknown, the date of the council resolution is given instead. These dates are marked with (res.).
