Lobb recognizes more than 30 individuals with Canada 150 medal

In honour of the 150th Anniversary of Confederation, Huron-Bruce MP Ben Lobb honored more than 30 deserving Canadians from across Huron-Bruce at a ceremony held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Wingham, June 28.

“Canada’s 150th birthday is an important opportunity to celebrate Canada’s shared history and achievements,” said Lobb. “I am honoured to recognize these individuals with the Commemorative Canada 150 medal.
