Mayor Wayne Stetski has been recognized with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
He unveiled the honour at the Monday, February 18 Cranbrook city council meeting.
The mayor summarised the many volunteer positions he has held in the 22 years he has spent in Cranbrook.
As well as 30 years' experience as a public servant, Stetski has volunteered with Key City Theatre, United Way, the Regional Science Fair, and Scouts Canada, and other groups.
"To me, being mayor of Cranbrook is continuing my interest in serving my community. That is the context in which I accept the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal. This honour is very much appreciated," said Stetksi.
