Created in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country. At the same time, this commemorative medal served to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians. During the year of celebrations, 60 000 deserving Canadians were recognized.
We had a bit of trouble getting it on
On February 2, 2013, I was honoured to be one of the youngest and last Canadians to receive this medal from my Member of Parliament, Craig Scott.
The ceremony took place in the Ontario Legislative Assembly, pictured are the other medal winners.
Booklets were given with the short descriptions of each recipient.
My description stated:
“For her service to seniors, youth and children, at home and abroad, and for demonstrating to other youth that the future of a compassionate society starts with them.”
I was even in the Chinese Newspaper! (Don't ask me what it says)
