- The 150th Anniversary of Confederation is approaching in 2017, providing an opportunity to recognize and honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians;
- Medals have been issued previously in 1867, 1927, 1967, and 1992 and awarded to deserving Canadians to commemorate Confederation and the 60th, 100th, and 125th anniversaries of Confederation;
- The Government of Canada has indicated it does not intend to proceed with plans to issue a commemorative medal as part of the celebrations of the 150th Anniversary of Confederation; and
- Issuing a commemorative medal to mark the 150th Anniversary of Confederation would recognize the significant contributions and service of Canadians to their country in accordance with an important and established Canadian tradition.
