“I’m honoured to have been selected to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal. Thank you to those who nominated me and to those who have walked along this journey with me. It is not lost on me, that I am receiving this medal during a time of increased division and tension across our nation and the world. I receive this medal humbly to honour the pioneers who endured so that first-generation Canadians like me could dream big, lead with courage and audacity to make a difference. I remain steadfast in my resolve especially during these times and will continue to work toward an abundant, inclusive and equitable country that we all deserve and need, not just for today but for future generations.”![]()
