Don Dewar has become a recipient of the King Charles III Coronation Medal in recognition of his significant contributions to our region.
MP Dan Mazier recently awarded Dewar while he was serving hot lunches at MacKenzie Middle School through Food For Thought, a program he has supported for nearly seven years.
"I knew that my name had been put forward. Dan only had 25 (awards) for the whole constituency, and it's a large constituency. Both Steve and I received in dauphin received it, and I think that's an accomplishment"
He's also played major roles in building agricultural industries, serving as President of Keystone Agricultural Producers and a founding member of the Parkland Industrial Hemp Growers.
"all the involvement that I've had in the community, in the province, and working in agriculture, working at our local foodbank for years, and most recently the hot lunch program, that's what this award is in recognition of"
While honored by this award, Dewar humbly notes that he just wanted to fill the roles the community needed.
In doing so, his many contributions have made, and continue to make Dauphin an amazing place.
