Honouring the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal recipients

The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal commemorates the 70^th anniversary of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada upon the death of her father, King George VI, on February 6, 1952. Her late Majesty dedicated more than 70 remarkable years of continuous service to Canada, the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
