“The medals are being awarded to Canadians or permanent residents actively involved in their communities who, through generosity, dedication, volunteerism and hard work, make their hometowns, communities, regions, provinces or territories a better place to live” stated by the Advisory Working Group on the Senate 150th Anniversary Medal.
