Congratulations to all recipients of the King Charles III Coronation Medal, presented by Minister @karinagould on behalf of the Government of Canada, on behalf of King Charles III.

The King Charles III Coronation Medal is a special commemorative honour awarded to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional service and dedication to their communities and Canada. Created to mark the coronation of King Charles III, this medal celebrates those who have made significant contributions through volunteerism, leadership, and acts of courage or commitment, reflecting the values of service and unity upheld by the monarchy. It serves as a lasting symbol of appreciation for their selfless efforts in building a better society.

As a recipient myself, I am thrilled to share this lasting honour with such well-deserving Burlingtonians.

Today, I had the privilege of attending the King Charles III Coronation Medal Ceremony, presented by MP @karinagould, to recognize the invaluable, selfless service of individuals who have made significant contributions to Canada and our community. I was honoured to nominate Burlington Veteran Gordon Schottlander, who, at just 19, fought on Juno Beach on D-Day. Hearing the stories of all the recipients and their impact on Burlington and Canada was incredibly inspiring.

Congratulations to all honourees—you continue to inspire our community!
