How to Address a Canadian Mayor

How to Address the Mayor of a Canadian City?

Canadian mayors are addressed with styles derrived from their British counterparts. There are two forms and not knowing which is one used in your community – I will give you both:

—-—-The Right Worshipful the Mayor of (city/town)
—-—-(Full name)
—-—-Address
—-—-—-or
—-—-The Worshipful Mayor of (city/town)
—-—-(Full name)
—-—-Address

—-Salutation:
—-—-Dear Mayor (Surname)

—-Conversation:
—-—-Mayor (Surname)

When Should You Use the Forms on this Page?

You can use these forms of address for any mode of communication: addressing a letter, invitation, card or Email. (If there are differences between the official and social forms of address, I will have mentioned the different forms.)  The form noted in the salutation is the same form you say when you say their name in conversation or when you greet them.
___What I don’t cover on this site are many things I do cover in my book: all the rules of forms of address, about names, international titles, precedence, complimentary closes, details on invitations, place cards, all sorts of introductions, etc. I hope you’ll get a copy of the book if you’d like the further detail.

Not Finding Your Answer?

—-#1)  At right on desktops, at the bottom of every page on tablets and phones, is a list of all the offices, officials & topics covered on the site.

—-#2)  If you don’t see the official you seek included or your question answered send me an e-mail. I am pretty fast at sending a reply: usually the next day or so (unless I am traveling.)  Note: I don’t have mailing or Email addresses for any of the officials and I don’t keep track of offices that exist only in history books.

—-#3)  If I think your question is of interest to others, Sometimes I post the question  – but always change all the specifics.
