BURLINGTON, ON

We did a short piece last week on the awarding of King’s Medals by Members of Parliament.

Burlington MP Karina Gould along with Mayor Meed Ward present an announcement notice that was part of the Queens 70th Jubilee medal to Rick Burgess.

We got a notice from a Hamilton MP – she was advertising for people who might want to nominate someone.

We did not see any advertising or notices from the office of Gould, Damoff or  Adam van Koeverden

We were advised by Minister Gould’s office that she has been advertising since May asking for constituents to nominate someone for this award. It has been heavily advertised on various social media platforms, sent through e-newsletter, mail items, and it is on our website.

The nomination window closed on July 31st, which was information also included in all of the advertisement. We will be publicly announcing the nominees at a later date and celebrating with an event.
