Thank you so much to the local Legion Branch for nominating us for this prestigious award!


Sometimes even newspaper people are at a loss for words. Such an occasion occurred on May 28th when Tanya Thibodeau and Pam Jones were honoured to receive the Royal Canadian Legion Media Award presented to the Gateway Gazette.  The citation accompanying the award reads in part:  “ In our appreciation, Branch 78 would like to request that The Gateway Gazette be positively considered (by Dominion Command) to receive a Media Award in appreciation for their time and consideration of the Turner Valley Legion.”

Sgt-at-Arms, Malcolm Hughes, in a congratulatory email said, “Let me congratulate you on an honour richly deserved. We do not present that Media Award lightly, evidenced by the fact that our recommendation has to go all the way to Dominion Command for approval in order to ensure that a very high standard for this award is maintained. In all my years in the Legion, this is only the second one that I have been part of. Well done, you have every reason to be proud of it.”

And proud we are. 

We simply cannot express deeply enough our heartfelt thanks to everyone who plays a role in the publication of the Gazette and who made it possible for us to receive this truly appreciated award.  That includes - YOU!
There were several important awards and honours presented at this ceremony. The Gazette will be showcasing these recipients in our June 21st, Grande section along with our coverage of the D-Day ceremony held on June 5th in Turner Valley.
