Mayor, Sandi Benford, receives Queen's Platinum Jubilee Pin

Mayor Sandi Benford is the recipient of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee pin which

recognizes residents who have provided exceptional service to the community and to

Canada. The pin celebrates the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th

anniversary on the throne, marking her as Canada’s longest sovereign and first to

celebrate a platinum jubilee.

Sandi has been a member of South View Council since 2001 and has been Mayor

for the majority of that time. Sandi also volunteers her time with the Lake Isle Aquatic

Management Society (LIAMS).

Those who received a Jubilee pin were nominated online by local residents as

someone who made important contributions to the community by volunteering,

being a community leader, person of achievement, or someone who represents

the best of Canadians.

Congratulations Mayor Benford!
