Citizen community builders, sitting mayors and past ABmunis presidents and lifetime members from central and southern Alberta were on hand to receive medals in recognition of their significant contributions to Canada, Alberta and the communities in which they live and serve.
“These medals recognize the remarkable contributions made by so many community leaders and change-makers from across central and southern Alberta,” said ABmunis President Cathy Heron. “They remind us of how much can be accomplished when we support one another and work together to make our communities great places in which to live, work and raise families."

The Government of Alberta struck 7,000 Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee medals to commemorate Her Majesty’s unsurpassed 70-year reign. The medals are being distributed to worthy recipients on behalf of the provincial government by numerous partner organizations, including ABmunis.
