Diamond Jubilee Medal to be presented to local sailors
The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal will be presented to 11 local Royal Canadian Navy sailors Tuesday evening.
The medals will be presented by Captain (Navy) Louis Christ, Naval Reserve Western Region Advisor, during a ceremony in HMCS Chippawa at 1 Navy Way at 8:30 p.m.
This new commemorative medal was created to mark the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne as Queen of Canada. The medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country.
These members have been selected as a result of their distinguished commitment to our community, the Royal Canadian Navy and Canada, officials said.
