Essex Region – Tim Byrne, CAO of the Essex Region Conservation Authority and Executive Director of the Essex Region Conservation Foundation, has been honoured by Chris Lewis, Member of Parliament for the riding of Essex, with a King Charles III Coronation Medal.
The Coronation Medal commemorates the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. With only 30,000 medals awarded across the entire country, recipients were determined based on having made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community of Canada, or an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.
“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I’d like to extend my most heartfelt congratulations to Tim on this significant honour,” said ERCA Chair Molly Allaire. “We appreciate MP Lewis for recognizing Tim’s nearly four decades of dedication to protecting our local watershed and celebrating his invaluable contributions to our community in this meaningful way.”
“Tim’s dedication to serve community and the environment has led to decades of clean drinking water, protected shorelines and planting of thousands of trees," said MP Lewis. "His close work with the agriculture community is instrumental for future generations’ success.”
“I am deeply humbled by this incredible honour,” Byrne said. “Serving the Windsor-Essex-Pelee Island community for nearly 40 years has been a true privilege, and I am most thankful to MP Lewis for this opportunity to stand alongside such distinguished recipients."
The Essex Region Conservation Authority is a public sector organization established by the Province of Ontario and governed by local municipalities. For more than 50 years, it has delivered programs and services that further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in watersheds in Ontario.
