On February 6th, 2022, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II became the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. This marks 70 years since her ascension to the throne, the death of her father, and of service to the people of the United Kingdom, and the Realms of the Commonwealth including our beloved Canada.
The Canadian Platinum Jubilee Badge was created by the Government of Canada to celebrate this historic milestone for both Her Majesty and Canada. The emblem was designed and painted by Cathy Bursey–Sabourin, Fraser Herald at the Canadian Heraldic Authority. This badge is a symbol that not only marks this momentous day but also makes a statement of support and the meaningful relationship between Canada and the Crown as our national head of state, as personified by Her Majesty Queen of Canada.
The Toronto Branch of the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada would like to offer its gratitude to Her Majesty on this occasion, for her service over these last 70 years and primarily for her service to Canada. Long live the Queen.
