Canadian Forces members will soon have a Lieutenant Governor’s Military Service Pin to wear with pride, thanks to a Private Member’s motion by Leeds Grenville MPP Steve Clark. The motion passed with unanimous support Thursday at Queen’s Park. In his speech during today’s debate, Clark thanked North Grenville’s Roy Brown, who was the inspiration behind the motion to establish the new honour.
Brown wrote to Clark earlier this year asking for his help in urging the province to follow the lead of Saskatchewan, which launched its Lieutenant Governor’s Military Service Pin last year. The Military Service Pin is a unique honour in that it’s designed to be worn on the civilian dress of veterans and active-duty members of the Canadian Forces from Ontario.
