Seventy-seven Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medals were awarded Monday afternoon at the Heritage Inn in Moose Jaw.

Medals were handed out for the constituencies of Moose Jaw North, Moose Jaw Wakamow, Lumsden-Morse, and Moosomin.

World War II Veteran Allen Cameron was honoured for his contributions to the Canadian Armed Forces.

"It's hard to put it into words. I left my brother over there, a lot of good friends and then come back and have a reception like this. It's excellent."

A reception was held following the presentation of the medals.

The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (Saskatchewan) was created to celebrate the 70th anniversary year of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Accession to the Throne, which began on February 6, 2022. 

The medal is a tangible way for the province of Saskatchewan to honour Her late Majesty for her service to Canada. 

A total of 7,000 medals will be awarded to deserving citizens.

Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II approved the design of the medal in May 2022.
