A number of people across Canada were selected and presented the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal commemorating the seventieth year of the monarch’s reign, before her passing last year. NDP MLA for The Pas-Kameesak, Amanda Lathlin, was able to honour and recognize 10 constituents for their outstanding achievements by presenting them with the medal.
“Each MLA was given the opportunity to present ten Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medals to their constituents,” said Lathlin. “I chose Dr. Alex Wilson, Edwin Jebb, Tara Munro-Manych, Edie Turner, Murray Harvey, Ovide Mercredi, John Morriseau, Dr. Cathy Cook, the late Ray Mason, and Gordon Landriault.”
