Shedden was among eight recipi- ents receiving the same medal and 15 being honoured during a ceremony at the Government House in Winni- peg on Jan. 9. Lt.-Gov. Janice Filmon, on behalf of Gov. Gen. Julie Payette, presented the medals. Lt-Gov. Filmon spoke about each recipient’s work in making the world a better place and expressed her gratitude at the self- lessness of those being honoured. Shedden was nominated by two of his students from Sisler High School, Philip Kawalec and Aashna Bansal, because of his efforts to facilitate so- cial justice clubs at the school. For 15 years, Shedden helped run initia- tives like the anti-tobacco group and a Gay-Straight Alliance. Shedden said that being among those honoured was a surreal experience for him and Lt-Gov.
