Our Photo of the Day for March 1, 2013 is a tribute to an extraordinary group of volunteers.
It’s a photo (scroll down) of most of the recipients of the Diamond Jubilee Medal in southwest Scarborough, taken when the medals were handed out last weekend by MP Dan Harris.
You can scroll over the icons to find out more about the contributions that each of them has made to our community.
Congratulations to all!
