A new commemorative medal has been created to mark the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada. The Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Medal is a tangible way for Alberta to honour Her Majesty’s service to Canada.

The Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Medal will be awarded to 7,000 Albertans throughout 2022 in recognition of significant contributions to the province.

The Platinum Jubilee Medal program is continuing as planned despite the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and will conclude on February 5, 2023.

7,000 Albertans will receive the medal as a symbolic recognition of Her Majesty’s 70th anniversary and based on the number of Albertans recognized in the 2005 Alberta Centennial Medal and the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Medal Program.

Calgary #1 had 5 members who were awarded the Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Medal on February 5, 2023 for their outstanding work volunteering for the Branch.  They were Deanna French, Phil MacAulay, Susan MacAulay, Delphine Marcotte and Rick Dent. Presenting these Medals was Greg McLean MP for Calgary Central.
