Final Official Ceremony for the Presentation of the King Charles III Coronation Medal
" It is a true privilege to honour so many Quebecers from every region of the province. I am proud to highlight that our institution is the one, among all provincial institutions across Canada, that awarded the highest number of King Charles III Coronation Medals — and the second highest overall in the country, after the Canadian Armed Forces," declared the Honourable Manon Jeannotte.
The evening event, held on May 13 at the Institut de tourisme et d'hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ), was an opportunity to recognize the contributions of 30 citizens from the Greater Montréal Area. It also marked the conclusion of the official ceremonies associated with this distinction, at the end of which a total of 1,650 medals will have been awarded to citizens throughout Quebec.
Any remaining Coronation Medals will be presented during the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec's medal ceremonies as part of her provincial tour or at smaller-scale events organized according to various logistical and human factors.
Among the distinguished recipients honoured during this final official ceremony, the Lieutenant Governor had the privilege of awarding the King Charles III Coronation Medal to the Honourable Liza Frulla, Director General of the ITHQ; Ms. Ginette Reno; Mr. Daniel Jutras, Rector of the Université de Montréal; Ms. Véronique Rankin, Executive Director of Wapikoni; Ms. Marie-Josée Bastien, director of the Projet Polytechnique; as well as several other notable honourees.

'Gizmo', 'Satan,' and 'McLovin': Inside the changing world of pilot calls signs at CFB Cold Lake
As far back as the Second World War, Canadian pilots have used call signs to identify themselves to colleagues in the air and on the ground. Article content Such short-hand monikers are used in official and unofficial communications as well as by Canada's allies, and have appeared in pop culture through films like Top Gun. Article content Article content The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) says call signs serve as more than identification markers, and reflect both generations of aviation heritage as well as the contemporary pilots who assign the nicknames to their peers. Article content Article content While once considered to be permanent, call signs and the policies that govern them have been updated in recent years amid controversy over some individual nicknames and the process by which they were assigned. Article content Article content Those concerns prompted an overhaul of standards around call signs and the process used to choose them, according to over 200 pages of records acquired by Postmedia via several access to information requests that produced records primarily from CFB Cold Lake in Alberta but also to other bases. Article content 'While the RCAF continues to value tradition and camaraderie, we recognize that certain call signs previously considered acceptable may no longer reflect the evolving culture of the organization,' reads a statement to Postmedia from Maj. Marie-Eve Bilodeau with the Canadian Armed Forces. Article content 'Our approach remains flexible, allowing the fighter force culture to evolve alongside broader societal expectations.' Article content Article content The documents list close to 100 different call signs, and while the origins of many of those are difficult to determine many are apparent attempts at humour. Article content Call signs referencing first or last names were common, including one pilot with the surname Chu who was given the call sign 'Pica' in reference to the Pokemon character. Article content Entertainment was a popular source of inspiration for call signs including 'Bollywood,' 'Jar Jar,' 'Gizmo,' 'Footloose,' and 'McLovin' in apparent reference to the 2007 film Superbad. Article content 'Call signs, much like nicknames between good friends, are intended to maintain tradition and contribute to esprit de corps,' Bilodeau stated. Article content Some call signs were acronyms, including 'POG' in reference to TSN's Play of the Game highlight segment, 'RIC' referring to an officer who rides (his motorcycle) in crocs, and 'DATA' for a pilot whose colleagues apparently believe doesn't always think ahead.
