Medal of Bravery Nominations Deadline Approaches

The May 1 nomination deadline for Nova Scotia's Medal of Bravery is only weeks away.

The Nova Scotia Medal of Bravery is awarded to people who put their lives at risk to protect the life or property of others.

Any Nova Scotian can be nominated, not just those in law enforcement and public safety sectors.

Nomination forms are available at Access Nova Scotia centres, offices of members of the legislative assembly, and on the Medal of Bravery website at www.gov.ns.ca/bravery.

An advisory panel, chaired by former Chief Justice of Nova Scotia Constance Glube, will select medal recipients.

For more information, contact Nadia Gardin at the Department of Justice at 902-424-5941 or e-mail [email protected] .

Completed nomination forms should be sent to: Provincial Secretary, Medal of Bravery, Department of Justice, 4th floor, 5151 Terminal Rd., Halifax, N.S., B3J 2L6.
