46 RESIDENTS RECEIVE THE QUEEN’S DIAMOND JUBILEE MEDAL

Released on December 10, 2012

Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield and Provincial Secretary Wayne Elhard presented 25 Saskatchewan residents with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal at Government House in Regina today.

An additional 21 medals will be awarded to residents during a ceremony in Saskatoon on December 12.

"The Queen has chosen the theme of service for this milestone year and so it is most appropriate that Canada created a Diamond Jubilee Medal which celebrates both Her Majesty's lifetime of service and the outstanding contributions of deserving citizens," Solomon Schofield said. "On behalf of our sovereign, I thank each medal recipient for their commitment to the greater good."

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee began in February 2012 in celebration of the 60-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The Royal Canadian Mint created 60,000 medals which will be awarded to outstanding Canadians of all ages and from all walks of life across the country.

"The Queen's reign has been defined by freedom, democracy and a belief in tradition," Elhard said. "But most importantly, it has been defined by service to others. Those recognized exemplify this. They are our community leaders, our volunteers and true ambassadors for our province. The work that these recipients have done and the work that they continue to do makes Saskatchewan a better place and that is something to celebrate."
