Reimer, who now serves as chief medical officer of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, was one of 70 Manitobans awarded the medal at a ceremony. Prominent members of Manitoba's business and health sectors and nearly three dozen military personnel were awarded Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee medals Monday night, one week after the former monarch's funeral in London. Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state and the longest-reigning British monarch, died on Sept. 8 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. "You have honoured the seven-decade legacy of her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II through your service, and I sincerely want to thank you for your contributions to our great province."
