Local RCMP Receive Medals From The Queen

Four members of our local District 1 RCMP receiving a special award.


Sgt. Larry MacDonald, Sgt. Larry Burden, Sgt. Bob MacKnight, and Cpl Jeff Cosgrove, along with over 100 other provincial RCMP employees being awarded Diamond Jubilee Medals from the Queen in Fredericton.

The medal recognizes outstanding service to fellow citizens, the community, or the country.

Corporal Chantal Farrah tells Tide News a wide range of contributions were celebrated.

She says the medals are given for foreign missions, outstanding investigations, and dedication to the community.

2,300 Diamond Jubilee medals have been awarded across the country.
