Chatham-Kent-Essex MPP Rick Nicholls was pleased to present two well deserving individuals with Diamond Jubilee Medals on Saturday evening at the Leamington Hospital Foundation Gala. The Diamond Jubilee Medal pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the throne and honours her lifelong commitment to her responsibilities by recognizing those who have made significant contributions to Ontario and Canada. Lorraine Sabga was awarded a medal for her dedication and tireless efforts on the Leamington District Memorial Hospital Foundation Gala committee, raising funds for children of Haiti, local community schools and churches. Lorraine has been on the Gala committee for several years and has been instrumental in organizing other key events

She has been the driving force behind fundraisers benefitting children and earthquake victims of Haiti, and continuously supports ongoing campaigns at her church, her children’s school, and Transition to Betterness. “Lorraine sees a need and follows through with full commitment to a project,” said Nicholls. “I am pleased to be able to recognize someone who has worked so hard on so many various projects as Lorraine has.” Nicholls also presented a Diamond Jubilee award to Cole Cacciavillani for his work with Leamington District Memorial Hospital, having served on the Board of Directors from 1994 to 2012 in several different capacities, been a member of the Leamington Hospital Foundation Board for many years, and is a Life Member of the Leamington District Memorial Hospital Corporation. “The contribution of this gentleman to the Leamington District Memorial Hospital has been tremendous,” said Nicholls. “His dedication to the hospital and to the community has been exceptional. As a Board member, he has represented the soul and conscience of the community and has set a very excellent personal example of a caring servant leader, always having the best interest of the community at heart.” Nicholls stressed that the medal is for all that Mr. Cacciavillani does for the community but only the hospital Cole Cacciavillani received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal prior to the Leamington service was included.
