Volunteers honored for dedication
Ontario Bicentennial medals will be
handed out to 1,984 citizens in recognition of
their outstanding service to their
communities. These recipients were
selected by members within their
community through public nominations.

gold, feature the Ontario Coat of Arms on
one side and the Ontario Bicentennial

they will be honored for the giving of their
time and energy when they are presented
