To celebrate Her Majesty's 60 years of service to Canada as our Queen, his Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, has commissioned the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal is meant to be a visible and tangible way to recognize outstanding Canadians of all ages and all walks of life, who have built and continue to build this caring society and country through their services, contributions and achievements.
