OTTAWA, ON, December 14, 2012 - 2012 marks the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty’s accession of the throne. To celebrate, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal was created. The last time the Diamond Jubilee medals were presented was during Queen Victoria’s reign in 1867.

Today, the Canadian Lacrosse Association (CLA) is pleased to announce that fifty-five (55) members of the lacrosse community have joined a very exclusive club amongst Commonwealth countries as they are recipients of a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal. This commemorative medal is a tangible and lasting way to pay tribute to those Canadians whose achievements have benefited their fellow citizens, their community, their organization and the country. It provides an opportunity to look back and recognize those who have made lacrosse what it is today. These fifty-five individuals represent the backbone of Canadian lacrosse; they are the volunteers, the builders of our sport, administrators, coaches, and players. They give tirelessly to the sport they are so passionate about and as such the CLA is thrilled to have the opportunity to honour each of them.
