Roy Thomson Hall: Boris Spremo

Louise Brown Dept: Education reporter Louise Brown, former disabilities reporter Helen Henderson and former photographer Boris Spremo were among staff honoured. More than 600 medals were given out at the Diamond Jubilee Gala at Roy Thomson Hall. A total of 60,000 Canadians, including Order of Canada and Order of Ontario recipients, will be recognized throughout the year, according to The Star. It gave us the encouragement to look to present medals . . . to people of varying ages, whose lives really demonstrated lives of services, said David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and current and former Toronto Star employees received Diamond Jubilee Medals Monday night for their contributions to Canada. The commemorative medal also marks the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II s accession to the throne. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
