The Club was honored to nominate Lyle Hardy for the King Charles III Coronation Medal several months ago. Recently, we were informed that he had been selected as a recipient of the prestigious award. Recipients of the award have had to have made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community of Canada, or have made an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.
