The first 2022 Moments to Hold coin celebrates 50 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Here's to the heroes among us! The Medal of Bravery recognizes those who have risked injury, even death, to save the lives of others!
From bystander interventions in drownings and fiery rescues to saving someone from an animal attack-these are some of the "acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances" recognized by Canada's Medal of Bravery throughout its 50-year history. Those who have been awarded this decoration may not consider themselves as heroes, but their selflessness is one of our great strengths, and worthy of one of Canada's highest honours.
Join us in celebrating a half-century of heroism with this Moments to Hold coin that puts 50 years of bravery in the palm of your hand.
About the Medal of Bravery
In 1972, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II established a group of medals recognizing courageous acts: the Cross of Valour, the Star of Courage and the Medal of Bravery. These are Canada's Decorations for Bravery, which are awarded based on the degree of peril faced by the recipients. The Medal of Bravery is one of Canada's best known civilian honours for acts of exceptional courage. Since its inception, the Medal of Bravery has been awarded by the Governor General of Canada to nearly 3,300 people-Canadians and others, civilians and combatants, living and deceased-in recognition of "acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances" that range from animal attacks to burning buildings. The act of bravery does not have to take place in Canada, but it should involve at least one Canadian and/or Canadian interests. Any person or organization can nominate someone they feel deserves the Medal of Bravery. Nominations must be submitted to the Chancellery of Honours at Rideau Hall within two years of the incident. To learn more, please visit the Governor General of Canada's website.
