The Moose Jaw North, Moose Jaw Wakamow, and Lumsden-Morse Constituency offices hosted another event to award 99 additional Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medals to recipients in the Moose Jaw, Lumsden-Morse, and Moosomin areas.
The Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) for those offices were on hand to give the awards out on Feb. 27.
The event was held in the Heritage Inn convention hall and was by invitation only due to the large number of recipients, although there were 22 awardees who were unable to attend, leaving a total of 77.
Seven thousand Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medals have been or will be awarded in Saskatchewan — the province is tied with Alberta for the most medals in Canada.
The medal was created in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th year as the monarch of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms. Elizabeth’s reign was the longest of any British monarch and the longest of any female monarch in history.
Recipients of the medal are chosen for their community service, their contributions to the arts or athletics, their service in the military or in government, their contributions to their respective industries, and more, and as an encouragement for others to follow their examples.
(Editorial note: Those people whose names are marked with an asterisk were unable to attend the presentation.)
