On January 14, at a special ceremony, Honourable Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk ECA, MLA for FortSaskatchewan/Vegreville and Parliamentary Secretary for Ukrainian Refugee Settlement presented Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medals to recipients at Vegreville Legion Hall. Homeniuk said they were gathered to pay tribute to those who have given of their time and talents to service in our community, our province and our country. “As you know, Albertan’s Platinum Jubilee medal commemorates the 70th Anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada. She had dedicated more then 70 years of remarkable years of continual service to Canada, the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. This extraordinary achievement
makes her Britain’s longest reigning and longest lived monarch. Her Majesty had expressed her wish that Jubilee events be an occasion for enjoying a sense of togetherness, and optimism about the future which makes today the prefect opportunity to celebrate the achievements of people who make our communities better. Today’s medal recipients lead rather than wait to be led, they tackle challenges head on, and they see problems as opportunities instead of obstacles. Congratulations to everyone receiving this special distinction today.” The medal recipients from Vegreville included: Ellen Essery, Jenny Cooper, Rhonda Hayduk, Rhonda Manz, Kathy Dmytriw, Diane Fausak, and Terry Kuzyk. Medal recipients from Two Hills were Richard Karpo and A.M.A Satar and the medal recipient from Mannville was Vicky Marshall.
