Today, Lieutenant Governor Bernadette McIntyre awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal to recipients during an award ceremony at TCU Place.
"As The King's representative in Saskatchewan, I am honoured to present medals that celebrate His Majesty's Coronation and also recognize the contributions of remarkable Canadians," McIntyre said. "Today's medal recipients are exceptional Saskatchewan residents, including members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP and the Canadian Paralympic and Olympic teams. These heroes inspire us by their willingness to risk their own safety to protect our communities and our freedoms and by taking on the world to reach the highest peak of athletic achievement."
The King Charles III Coronation Medal was created to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, which took place on May 6, 2023. It is the first Canadian commemorative medal to mark a Coronation. The first Coronation Medal awarded to Saskatchewan citizens took place on May 6, 2024.
This medal is a tangible way to acknowledge significant contributions and achievements of citizens across the country, while also honouring His Majesty's service to Canada. The Office of the Secretary to the Governor General will administer the distribution of 30,000 medals on behalf of the Government of Canada through partnerships, including the Government of Saskatchewan.
