Sarnia-Lambton MP Marilyn Gladu presented the medals during a ceremony at the F-86 Golden Hawk memorial in Sarnia’s Germain Park.
“All are being honored for their incredible service to our community and country, in a variety of ways,” said a release. “All are outstanding Canadians, whose presence enriches our society.”
The medal’s design and details were announced by Rideau Hall May 6, the first anniversary of the coronation.
“We can all think of thousands of people in Sarnia that were worthy, but we were allocated 20 medals,” Gladu said.
A local committee created to select recipients “sorted to cover all the sectors from the military, to history, art, social, science and technology, and business,” she said.
