Saint Johners Receive Diamond Jubilee Medal

A special commemorative medal being awarded to a handful of people in Greater Saint John.

The Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee medal has been given to 60,000 Canadians this year who've made big impacts to their region or the country.

From Quispamsis, councillor Emil Olsen and Mayor Murray Driscoll are recipients. Driscoll says he's very appreciative and humbled for the award, but wants to recognize his whole council works just as hard.

Other recipients are Grand Bay-Westfield Mayor Grace Loiser, Cultural Affairs Officer Bernard Cormier and Quispamsis councillor Emil Olsen.
