\nSen. Larry Smith bestowed commemorative medals<\/a> on 31 Quebecers during an official ceremony in Pointe Claire, May 23. <\/p>\n

\nThey are among the Canadians whose devotion to the needs of others will earn them a new commemorative medal marking the 60th anniversary this year of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession. <\/p>\n

\nThe recipient list reflected broad, non-partisan acknowledgement of the contribution of individuals who have given of themselves to improve the lives of others. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cThey are the true heroes of our community,\u201d Sen. Smith told a crowd of some 200 family, friends and well-wishers. He added that he hoped that recognizing their selflessness in this way would \u201cinspire others to get involved and make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nAmong the honoured were Club des petits dejeuners<\/i> founder Daniel Germain; palliative care pioneers Sylvie Crevier & Teresa Dellar; Earl de la Perralle & Sid Stevens of Sun Youth; Robert Routledge for service to fellow veterans; women’s shelter and severely disabled supporter Ginger Petty; Hudson health care advocates Judy Tellier, Dr. Leonard Welik, Dr. Rob Hryniowski & Frank Royle; former Alouettes Peter Dalla Riva and Peter Howlett for their support to various charities including the soon-to-be-transferred St. Anne de Bellevue veteran’s hospital; as well as Claude Chagnon whose foundation helps Avenir d’enfant, Reunir Reussir, Quebec en Forme<\/i> and the Fondation des enfants de Vaudreuil-Soulanges.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
