Corrections staff recognized for exemplary service
Alberta Solicitor General Heather Forsyth presented the prestigious Corrections Exemplary Service Medal to 65 staff, before an audience of MLAs, and families, during two ceremonies in March 2003. An additional nine people received the Corrections Exemplary Service Medal 30-year bar.
“On behalf of my colleagues who have joined us, and the Government of Alberta, I would like to express my appreciation and admiration for your efforts,” said Heather Forsyth.
The medal was established in 1984 to recognize exemplary employees of Canadian correctional services. It is part of the Canadian Honours System with nominations approved by the Governor General of Canada. It is more than a long service award; it is recognition of a high level of commitment, professionalism and competence.
