Local veteran’s coronation medal ceremony postponed
Veteran Duke Cuthbert’s King Charles III Coronation Medal presentation ceremony at the Fort St. John Royal Canadian Legion has been rescheduled after MP Bob Zimmer was allegedly unable to attend due to the 2025 election.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A coronation medal ceremony has been rescheduled after MP Bob Zimmer was allegedly unable to attend.
Duke Cuthbert, who served with the Canadian Airborne Division, was meant to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal at the Fort St. John Royal Canadian Legion Branch on March 29th.
Cuthbert was to receive the award for his service in the military and for helping single mothers and youths in the community.
According to the event organizer, Darin Reeves, Zimmer had to cancel the event due to the snap election called for April 28th.
“Mr. Bob Zimmer had to cancel the presentation because obviously, he’s campaigning,” said Reeves.
According to Reeves, a new date for the ceremony has not been finalized but will likely take place after the election.
Energeticcity.ca reached out to Bob Zimmer’s office and the Fort St. John Legion for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
