Ottawa – Twenty people from Leeds & Grenville were honoured with the King Charles III Coronation Medal, presented by MP Michael Barrett, at a Saturday special ceremony on Parliament Hill.
“It’s an honour to be able to present on behalf of Canada this recognition to members of our community for their exceptional service and contributions. Whether it is in our Armed Forces, our police and firefighters, charitable and nonprofit organizations, arts and culture, or giving back to our neighbours and the less fortunate, the extraordinary work of these individuals exemplifies service, sacrifice, and the freedom and values of Canada. On behalf of the people of Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, I extend my congratulations and gratitude to each of the medal recipients for their contributions to our community and our country,” said MP Barrett.
The King Charles III Coronation Medal recognizes community members for their outstanding contributions, which was created to recognize the service of Canadians.
