King Charles III Coronation Medal
As a community partner to the Governor General’s office, the ICCA has been invited to submit 20 names for the King Charles III Coronation Medals. We are honoured to share that members of our community have been selected to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal in recognition of their exceptional contributions to Indigenous arts, culture, and communities across Canada.
To mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, the Prime Minister announced in May 2023 the Government’s intention to award 30,000 Coronation Medals to individuals who have made significant contributions to their country, province, territory, region, or community, or whose achievements abroad have brought honour to Canada.
Created by His Majesty and administered by the Chancellery of Honours, this commemorative medal marks the Coronation on May 6, 2023. It serves as a tangible recognition of service, leadership, and dedication to sustainability, diversity, and cultural stewardship.
The medal honours outstanding individuals of all ages and backgrounds who have made a meaningful impact in their communities or through achievements that bring credit to Canada. Our shared sense of purpose as Canadians is strengthened when we collectively celebrate those who distinguish themselves through talent, generosity, and service.
We are proud to recognize today’s recipients for their invaluable contributions.
Presentation Ceremony
To celebrate this achievement, we are currently looking at an ICCA presentation ceremony. Stay tuned for details!
This is a moment to honour and uplift those who continue to shape Indigenous arts and cultural sovereignty. We look forward to celebrating with you!
