Four key volunteers working with the Autism Society of Newfoundland and Labrador are being recognized for outstanding service to those with autism, and their families and caregivers, throughout the province.
His Honour, Lieutenant-Governor Frank Fagan, will present Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals to Elaine Dobbin, Barbara Hopkins, Tom Jackman and David Vardy during a ceremony at Government House on July 2, 2013.
