Medal of Distinction

The Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc is proud to sponsor a Medal of Distinction to recognize community engagement and volunteerism.

The aim of the award program is to recognize the important contributions of volunteers in Strathroy-Caradoc. Awards will be given out each year. Individuals and organizations will be considered based on community service over the previous calendar year, or longer, in the case of lifetime achievement awards.

The Medal of Distinction is intended to be the highest municipal honour available to residents and/or supporters of the Strathroy-Caradoc community.

The Community Services Department developed the awards program in conjunction with the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee, the Awards Committee, and municipal management. The Medal of Distinction Program is another recommendation implemented from the 2015 Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

Individuals or organizations can be nominated for a Civic Award by any member of the public. If the Committee feels it does not have nominations of sufficient merit, an award may not be given in that year.
