The King Charles III Coronation Medal was awarded to outstanding individuals in British Columbia during a ceremony with the lieutenant governor this week. TRIUMF's Ombudsperson and EDI resource for the lab, Grace Wong Sneddon, was a recipient for her work as co-chair of the Chinese Canadian Museum Society where she brought voice to the history of Chinese Canadians.
The Coronation Medal was created to mark the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, which took place on May 6, 2023. It is the first Canadian commemorative medal to mark a coronation.
