Ontarians should act soon to nominate outstanding community members for a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.

This medal pays special tribute to Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the throne and honours her life-long commitment to her responsibilities, by recognizing those who have made significant contributions to Ontario and Canada.

“I encourage all Ontarians not to miss this great opportunity to nominate members of their community who share the Queen’s outstanding qualities of kindness and devotion to duty, and her spirit of dedication to the public good.”

Charles Sousa, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration

The nomination process is open until 11:59 p.m. on April 30.
