CAW Local 444 president Dino Chiodo and Windosr firefighter Doug Diet were awarded Friday the Diamond Jubilee medal for their “exceptional contributions to province and country.”
“I am proud to have been given this opportunity to recognize Dino and Doug for their outstanding service to the citizens of Windsor Essex,” Teresa Piruzza, Windsor West MPP, said in a statement. “Their spirit of contribution is fittingly recognized with this Diamond Jubilee medal, and we are lucky to have them in our community.”
Chiodo, who also serves as president of the Windsor and District Labour Council, was recognized as a ” tireless advocate for auto workers and workers in the Windsor and Essex County region.”
A firefighter for more than 25 years, Diet has volunteered for the Windsor Residence for Homeless Young Men, the Windsor Model Yacht Club, and the Riverside Minor Hockey.
Ontario is awarding more than 2,000 outstanding Canadians with Diamond Jubilee medals.
The medal pays special tribute to Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the throne and honours her life-long commitment to her responsibilities by recognizing those who have made significant contributions to Ontario and Canada.
