RCMP NL Headquarters hosted an awards ceremony on March 4, 2025, where 27 of its employees were awarded with a King Charles III Coronation Medal.
The King Charles III Medal, manufactured by the Royal Canadian Mint, was created to mark the May 6, 2023, Coronation of his Majesty King Charles the third and is the first Canadian commemorative medal. It is also the first Canadian honour to feature the Canadian Royal Crown, approved by his Majesty the King.
The RCMP was allocated 1300 of these medals to be presented to deserving employees across Canada. A total of 40 RCMP employees in Newfoundland and Labrador will receive this award for having made a significant contribution to the RCMP, their community, or Canada as whole. This medal can also be awarded to employees who have made an outstanding achievement abroad that has brought credit to the RCMP or to Canada.
