4 Lethbridge residents receive Platinum Jubilee Medals
Four of Lethbridge’s outstanding citizens received the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee medal at a special ceremony hosted by YWCA Lethbridge and District at the Southern Alberta Ethnic Association.“Today’s event is about our community members and the contributions that they have made to our community throughout this past year and it’s in honour of the Queen and her platinum jubilee and the 70-year rein on the throne.”Seven-thousand Albertans are receiving the medal this year.
“I was telling somebody that I have other awards but this was the one my dad was most proud of me getting because it’s from the Queen!” “It’s something that I’m honoured to have and I see it as a call to action, a reminder to keep fighting the good fight and making a better world.” The recipients were chosen by a selection committee based on their dedication to helping others and bettering their community.
It’s no surprise, all of the very humble winners like Abrey, the director of Lethbridge’s Indigenous Recovery Program, were quick to share the spotlight.“I feel I’m just one of a team that’s getting recognized, it’s not me as an individual that goes out and helps people, that serves people, I just happen to be the one that’s being honoured for it, but it’s my whole team that deserves this award, not just me,” added Abrey.
