The final two Moose Javian recipients of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medals recently received their medal and certificate from Mayor Clive Tolley at Moose Jaw City Hall.
Carolyn Scidmore and Wayne Cameron were unable to attend the Feb. 1 ceremony in the city's Council Chambers, when their eight co-recipients received medals from Saskatchewan's Lieutenant Governor His Honour the Honourable Russ Mirasty and his wife, Her Honour Donna Mirasty. Scidmore and Cameron were mentioned and missed on that occasion.
The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal was created for the 70th anniversary of Elizabeth's accession in 1952. The province of Saskatchewan created its own version of the medal and will award a total of 7,000 of them. They are awarded primarily to Saskatchewanians who have made significant volunteer contributions in their communities, worked in the emergency services, and to Canadian Armed Forces members.
