Six West Kootenay residents were awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal at a Castlegar ceremony on March 4.
This commemorative medal recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to Canada, their province, territory, region, or community. Across the country, 30,000 medals are being awarded.
This group of medals were presented to Sandi McCreight, Deb McIntosh, Vince Salvo, Joan Snyder (awarded posthumously), Dan Ashman and Morag Carter by South Okanagan – West Kootenay MP Richard Cannings, who also nominated the recipients.
In September, Trail and Castlegar residents Gerry Rempel, Darlene Schultz, Anne Godderis and Jan Morton also received medals after being nominated by Kootenay West MLA Katrine Conroy.
