VIMM Volunteers

It was my pleasure to represent the City of Nanaimo last week at the Vancouver Island Military Museum. In a special ceremony, three volunteers were presented with the Governor General Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers. Given the special honour were Jim Dickinson, Bruce Davison, and Angus Scully, with MP Tamara Kronis on hand to make the presentations of certificates for "long standing volunteer service and dedication to preserving and sharing Canada's military history and heritage through the Vancouver Island Military Museum. Certainly the museum is a prime example of how volunteers benefit our community, and I am pleased that the City has now entered a partnership agreement with the organization to help it continue to operate. Many volunteers are involved, but special congratulations at this time to Jim, Bruce, and Angus.
