MONTRÉAL, Feb. 28, 2013 /CNW/ - It gives me great pleasure to
congratulate outstanding athletes who are receiving The Queen Elizabeth
II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
At the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games, these athletes
demonstrated they can compete with the best and win for Canada. I am
extremely proud of their accomplishments and I know our athletes will
represent Canada well in Sochi, Russia, at the Winter Games in 2014.
Commemorations like the Diamond Jubilee contribute to our collective
identity and help define who we are as Canadians. So it is fitting
that, in Her Majesty's honour, we recognize the achievements of these
exceptional athletes who have worked hard to serve their communities
and country.
On behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Government of Canada,
