The board of directors of the Investment Industry Association of Canada (IIAC) has announce the names of the 38 recipients of IIAC’s Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
The medals are being awarded to 38 individuals who, during their professional life, made an impactful contribution to the Canadian investment industry in a way that served the investing public and issuers, the financing and trading of securities, the capital market infrastructure for the trade, clearing and settlement of securities, and good public policy and effective regulation of markets and the industry.
Earlier this year, the IIAC was asked by Governor General David Johnston to be a partner in awarding these 38 Medals which are bestowed in recognition of the Queen’s 60th anniversary on the throne.
“We are extremely pleased to have this opportunity to recognize and honour the builders and innovators of the Canadian investment industry. These are truly distinguished men and women and they deserve to be recognized by their peers,” says Ian Russell, IIAC president and CEO
In addition to the 38 IIAC Diamond Jubilee Medal recipients, the IIAC is also recognizing from the industry nine Order of Canada recipients and one sitting federal cabinet minister, all of whom have also received a medal by virtue of these designations.
