New Brunswick has launched a new medal to honour those who have made significant contributions to the province, a particular region, community or field.
The medal program will serve as the centrepiece for New Brunswick’s celebration of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee.
One third of the medals are intended for those who have played a significant role in the COVID-19 pandemic response.
Also, a specific focus will be on New Brunswickers who have:
- Made a tangible contribution to reconciliation efforts with Indigenous Peoples.
- Made a contribution to New Brunswick’s diversity and inclusion goals.
- Provided volunteer service at the local level.
- Served or are serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP and other emergency services.
- Made a positive impact on the preservation of the environment.
The medal program will be administered by the Department of Intergovernmental Affairs’ Office of Protocol.
Only identified partners can submit nominations for consideration including – but not limited to – MLA’s, MP’s and Senators.
Three thousand medals will be awarded throughout the Jubilee year.
