Honoured with the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal – Government of Alberta, 2023
Dr. Charles Osuji was honoured in 2023 with the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (Alberta), a provincial recognition created to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne. The medal was issued by the Government of Alberta to acknowledge Albertans who have made significant contributions to their communities, professions, and the province’s wellbeing. It is part of a Canada‑wide Jubilee initiative, with each province administering its own medal program to highlight exceptional service.
In Alberta, recipients of the Platinum Jubilee Medal are selected through an official nomination process overseen by the provincial government and designated partners. Honourees must demonstrate a sustained record of community impact, leadership, and service that strengthens the province. The medal is a formal civic honour, presented on behalf of the Crown, and is awarded only to individuals whose contributions are verified and recognized as meaningful to Alberta’s social, professional, or civic landscape.
Dr. Osuji received his medal from Hon. Kelechi (Kaycee) Madu, KC, ECA, who served as Alberta’s Deputy Premier and was one of the authorized presenters for the Jubilee Medal program. His presentation of the medal reflects the Government of Alberta’s acknowledgment of Dr. Osuji’s influence within the legal profession, his mentorship of internationally trained professionals, and his broader contributions to community development in the province.
The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal is one of the final commemorative medals issued in honour of the late monarch’s lifetime of service. Dr. Osuji’s inclusion among the 2023 Alberta recipients affirms the significance of his work and the respect he has earned across the province.
