Clement Virgo Diamond Jubilee Medal Recipient

The Historica-Dominion Institute recognized the accomplishments of thirty-eight remarkable Canadians who received Diamond Jubilee Medals for their outstanding contributions in their fields. Clement Virgo was among the recipients of this honour, who were nominated by the Institute for their work in sharing Canadian stories and experiences. The Diamond Jubilee Medal marks the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's ascent to the throne. This year, 60,000 Diamond Jubilee Medals are being awarded by the Governor General's office to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to their fields.
