Eleven Friends Are Awarded Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal

Last spring when Canadians were invited to nominate fellow citizens to receive the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for significant contributions, The Friends of Fort York put forward the names of several of our current and past directors, senior staff, members of the Fort York Guard, and cooking program volunteers. The nominations were made through the candidates’ Members of Parliament. Now that the lengthy process of selection has been completed, we’re pleased that a number of our colleagues have been honoured. We congratulate the following and share their pleasure in being awarded a medal: Nancy Baines, Matt Blackett, Harriet De Koven, Ned Gallagher, Eva Macdonald, Shawn Micallef, Rollo Myers, Cathy Nasmith, Stephen Otto, Elizabeth Quance, and Ewan Wardle.
