The list of local recipients of the King Charles III Coronation medal continues to grow.
Among the latest recipients is Dauphin's Kayla Gillis.
"I was pretty speechless and surprised but ultimately very honoured to receive such a prized medal."
Gillis was recognized for contributions to the community, including her involvement with Canada's National Ukrainian Festival, 4-H, Ukrainian Dance, and Dauphin's Countryfest.
She says anyone that asks her if they should consider volunteering will get a simple response from her.... Go for it!
"If you do not try it and do not volunteer, you are not going to know if you like it. And chances are after you finish volunteering, you are going to want to continue."
Gillis says her willingness to volunteer comes in large part from the example that her parents showed her when she was little.
