The Grande Prairie Regional Association of Volunteer Organizations, the City of Grande Prairie and other organizations across the province have been invited by the Government of Alberta to recognize individuals with the Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Medals.
The Platinum Jubilee Medal is a new commemorative medal created to mark the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada.
The overall purpose of the medal program is to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the province or a particular region or community. The medal honours the Queen and her lifelong service to Canada by acknowledging residents of Alberta who, like Her Majesty, have devoted their lives to making this province a better place.
The medals will be presented on December 14th, 2022 at Teresa Sargent Hall. More information coming soon.
