MONTRÉAL, May 14, 2025 /CNW/ - The Honourable Manon Jeannotte, Lieutenant Governor of Québec, had the great honour of presiding over the final official ceremony for the presentation of the King Charles III Coronation Medal organized by her Cabinet.
"It is a true privilege to honour so many Quebecers from every region of the province. I am proud to highlight that our institution is the one, among all provincial institutions across Canada, that awarded the highest number of King Charles III Coronation Medals — and the second highest overall in the country, after the Canadian Armed Forces," declared the Honourable Manon Jeannotte.
The evening event, held on May 13 at the Institut de tourisme et d'hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ), was an opportunity to recognize the contributions of 30 citizens from the Greater Montréal Area. It also marked the conclusion of the official ceremonies associated with this distinction, at the end of which a total of 1,650 medals will have been awarded to citizens throughout Quebec.
Any remaining Coronation Medals will be presented during the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec's medal ceremonies as part of her provincial tour or at smaller-scale events organized according to various logistical and human factors.
Among the distinguished recipients honoured during this final official ceremony, the Lieutenant Governor had the privilege of awarding the King Charles III Coronation Medal to the Honourable Liza Frulla, Director General of the ITHQ; Ms. Ginette Reno; Mr. Daniel Jutras, Rector of the Université de Montréal; Ms. Véronique Rankin, Executive Director of Wapikoni; Ms. Marie-Josée Bastien, director of the Projet Polytechnique; as well as several other notable honourees.
