We are thrilled to announce that Denise Francis, a long-serving employee and the Senior Health & Safety Partner for the Waterloo Catholic District School Board, has been selected as one of Guelph's esteemed recipients of the King Charles III Coronation Medal. This prestigious honour was created to commemorate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
Denise Francis has dedicated over 20 years to volunteering in Guelph, with a focus on sharing African, Black, and Caribbean culture and working closely with youth and seniors. Her recent efforts include providing social and learning opportunities for these groups and collaborating on a cultural food pantry, ensuring food-insecure residents have access to culturally significant foods. Denise's commitment to fostering community connections and supporting those in need exemplifies the values honoured by the King Charles III Coronation Medal.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Denise Francis for this well-deserved recognition and express our deepest gratitude for her unwavering commitment to enriching the WCDSB, Guelph, and Canada as a whole.
