Mr. Speaker, I had the honour of presenting the Queen's Jubilee Medal to 23 special constituents from Wild Rose last Wednesday in Calgary: from Sundre, Irene Cunningham, Gloria Gorrill and Garry Vooys; from Airdrie, Vance Gough, Hugh Hamilton, Gordon Leek, Gretha Robinson and Lee-Anne Welter; from Banff, Bernadette McDonald, Brian Skrine and Nicole Yarmoloy; from Balzac, John Gough and Rudy Schmidtke; from Cochrane, Russel Sinclair, James Taylor and John Tennant; from Crossfield, Sheila Pagan and Edwin Snyder; from Olds, Olivia Amy Muir and Kelly Rasmussen; Beverly Cheesmur of Didsbury; Denny Gibson of Canmore; and Gladys Taylor of Irricana.
All 23 recipients truly represent the fundamental meaning of the Jubilee medal. They exhibited distinguished service or made a significant achievement to their fellow citizens, community and to Canada. Congratulations to all.
