Lieutenant Governor Bernadette McIntyre awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal to recipients at Government House in Regina on Tuesday, March 25, and Wednesday, March 26, 2025. These exceptional Saskatchewan residents included members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian Armed Forces.
"It is a privilege to present Coronation Medals to such deserving people in recognition of their dedicated service to our province and our country," McIntyre said. "As His Majesty's representative in Saskatchewan, I am grateful for this opportunity to commemorate The King's coronation while honouring these recipients for their excellence and willingness to serve and protect our communities."
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.
