Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid, Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux, Justice Minister and Attorney General Shirley Bond and Social Development Minister Moira Stilwell attended the presentation ceremony held in Vancouver. Created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s accession to the throne, the Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way to pay homage to Her Majesty for six decades of dedicated service and to honour everyday Canadians who, like the Queen, have made Canada better. To ensure representation from all the regions of Canada, representatives of the federal and provincial governments, as well as national and provincial non-governmental organizations in various fields of endeavour, were invited to select recipients for the medal. The provincial government will present approximately 760 medals. Quotes: Minister of Health Margaret MacDiarmid – “The individuals who are honoured by this medal are truly making a difference. They remind us of the power each of us have to create change and what can be accomplished when we work together for a greater good. The determination of these B.C. citizens is inspiring.” Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux – “It’s an honour to present these awards to British Columbians who have done so much to advocate for and drive social policy. We should all strive to emulate the example they’ve set in giving back to our communities and looking out for the well-being of those around us.” Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond – “Today we’re recognizing truly outstanding and inspiring British Columbians who’ve helped families and communities across our province. Hard work, dedication, and compassion for others are really what being a British Columbian is all about. We’re very lucky to be able to call these recipients our own in B.C. and it’s an absolute honour to meet them in person and share in this special recognition event.” Minister of Social Development Moira Stilwell – “It is an honour to acknowledge the work that these individuals are doing within the community. Strong leadership at a grass roots level is one of the key components as we work toward an inclusive, accessible and barrier free British Columbia.” Learn More: Governor General of Canada: www.gg.ca/diamondjubilee.

The two main programs supported by the memorial fund, Alexa’s Team and Alexa’s Bus, are a collaborative effort with a number of partners, including the province, civic governments, police, ICBC and the BCAA Road Safety Foundation. The goal of the Alexa Middelaer Memorial Fund is to reduce driving fatalities in B.C. by over 35 per cent by the end of 2013. That original goal has already been far surpassed, with alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths in B.C. already down by 46 per cent.

This led him to create a volunteer-based organization able to harness the resources within the university and in the greater community. The organization quickly evolved into “CanAssist” - a program dedicated to developing and providing technologies and services that help people with special needs increase their independence and quality of life.
