Ontario Launches Award to Honour Exceptional Veterans

  • Our government is proud to launch the Ontario Veterans Award for Community Service Excellence, a historic program to honour the invaluable volunteer efforts of our veterans.
  • Each year, Ontario branches of the Royal Canadian Legion will each nominate one veteran who has demonstrated significant and sustained contributions to their community through exceptional work.
  • The nominating branches of Legion will present certificates and lapel pins to award recipients during local ceremonies.
  • The new initiative makes Ontario the first province in Canada to establish an award specifically dedicated to honouring veterans’ excellence in community service.
  • We can never fully repay those who have served our country, but this award will help strengthen our province by recognizing the legacy of our veterans and their contributions to building a stronger Ontario.
