Twenty-five residents of Simcoe-Grey representing several different towns were honoured by receiving King Charles III coronation Medals for making Canada a better place.
In May 2023, to mark the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, the prime minister announced the government’s intention to award 30,0000 Coronation Medals to those who have made a significant contribution to their country, province, territory, region, community, or an achievement abroad that brings benefit or honour to Canada.
The medals were awarded during a special ceremony held at the Nottawasaga Inn in Allison on Tuesday, March 18. The ceremony was attended by family members and friends who gathered to celebrate the exceptional achievements of each of the recipients.
Simcoe-Grey MP Terry Dowdall and Simcoe-Grey MPP Brian Saunderson presented the medals to each recipient, acknowledging their dedication to improving the lives of others through volunteer work, leadership, and community service.
“Each and every one of the recipients today have made significant and lifelong contributions to our region, and by extension, Ontario and Canada,” said MP Dowdall. “I am proud to recognize the dedication of these 25 eminent citizens to their community, to their fellow citizens, and to Canada with this once-in-a-lifetime achievement.”
The event concluded with a reception where guests and honourees came together to celebrate the achievements of the recipients and reflect on their shared commitment to building a stronger, more connected community, region, and country.
