Sandycove is proud to recognize the efforts of our
resident HARRY BOYER on being awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee
Medal for his voluntary service with Habitat for Humanity.
Harry Boyer is a very seasoned volunteer at the Habitat
for Humanity ReStore in Barrie. He has helped with demolition sites and many
other projects throughout the years and at age 92 Harry is still contributing
to Habitat.
The Queen
Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal serves to honour significant contributions
and achievements by Canadians in their communities. Recipients of this award are chosen through
a nomination process conducted by both the federal and Ontario governments. This (Diamond Jubilee)
medal has only happened once before when Queen Victoria reached it in 1897— the likelihood
of it happening again is not in our lifetimes.
This is a wonderful day to celebrate community members
and wonderful Canadians. Congratulations
Harry Boyer, we are proud of your efforts and dedication to giving back to the
community and proud to say you are one of the many dedicated residents living
in Sandycove.
