“On behalf of the board I wish express our heartiest congratulations to Mike and Dorothy on being awarded Queen's Jubilee medals for their contributions to society,” said Frank Pearce, Chair of the College’s Board of Governors. “It is indeed a great honour to have, not just one, but two of our staff selected for this once in a lifetime award. May they continue to serve as good role models."

The Premier, Commissioner, Member of Parliament and Senator for Nunavut are partners with the federal government in the medal program.
