King Charles 111 Coronation Medal

This award is given in honour of the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles 111, and in recognition of extraordinary contribution to one’s community.

At a wonderful March 6, 2025 reception, Peter Fonesca, Member of Parliament, Mississauga East-Cooksville, Ontario, bestowed this prestigious medal on me on behalf of our Governor General of Canada.

I am incredibly grateful and honored to receive this amazing medal. It reminded me that my tireless efforts, outstanding achievements, and passionate commitment to education and youth justice in communities across Ontario, especially in the Region of Peel, do not go unnoticed.

This is an exceptional achievement. Thank you, Peter, for your recognition. I am Blessed.
