TORONTO – Today, Ontario honoured 13 outstanding volunteers with the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship for 2021 and 2022. The medal represents the second highest honour awarded by the province and recognizes individuals whose exceptional volunteerism has helped drive positive change and made a lasting impact in their communities and across the province.
The Honourable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, joined by Michael Ford, Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism, awarded these individuals at a ceremony at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
“I am delighted to present the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship to a remarkable group of recipients,” said the Honourable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. “It is so important to celebrate the contributions of Ontarians who have improved daily life in their communities.
