What is the Labradorisn of Distinction Awards
The Labradorians of Distinction award, initiated by Labrador MP Yvonne Jones to commemorate Canada's 150th year of Confederation, celebrates the remarkable contributions of individuals to Labrador's cultural, social, environmental, and economic landscape.
This prestigious honor recognizes outstanding achievements and contributions through an annual induction ceremony, where recipients receive a special medal.
Eligibility is open to individuals who have significantly impacted Labrador's social, cultural, or economic spheres, with the exception of elected federal and provincial officials. This initiative not only honors the diverse backgrounds and identities of Labradorians but also fosters unity and awareness of the region's rich history and heritage.
By celebrating past and present Labradorians, the award promotes reconciliation and highlights the collective pride and identity of the region within the broader Canadian context. Nominations are encouraged to recognize deserving individuals for their invaluable contributions to Labrador's legacy and society.
