The Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers is awarded by the Governor General to Canadians, in recognition of their extraordinary contributions to their communities. I can think of no one who deserved this award more than Brian.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5929265\" data-originallang=\"en\"> On the occasion of Canada's 150th birthday, I was also honoured to award Brian one of Kitchener\u2014Conestoga's Canada 150 awards. The medal was given to 150 constituents of Kitchener\u2014Conestoga who have made a positive contribution to our community.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5929266\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since 1970, for almost 50 years, Brian Soehner has been involved in the 1st Elmira Scouts Group, and for the last 10 years he has served as commissioner. Working with young people, instilling important life lessons and sharing his love of the outdoors and the environment have motivated Brian's selfless service. Without Brian's influence, the Elmira Scouts would not be who they are today. It is people like Brian who make our community the very best in Canada. Let us thank Brian.</p>",

La gouverneure g\u00e9n\u00e9rale remet la M\u00e9daille du souverain pour les b\u00e9n\u00e9voles \u00e0 des Canadiens pour reconna\u00eetre leur contribution exceptionnelle \u00e0 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. \u00c0 mon avis, personne ne m\u00e9ritait plus cette r\u00e9compense que Brian.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5929265\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 l'occasion du 150<sup>e</sup> anniversaire du Canada, j'ai aussi eu l'honneur de remettre \u00e0 Brian l'un des Prix Canada 150 de Kitchener\u2014Conestoga. La m\u00e9daille a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9cern\u00e9e \u00e0 150 r\u00e9sidants de ma circonscription qui ont apport\u00e9 une contribution positive \u00e0 leur collectivit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5929266\" data-originallang=\"en\">Depuis 1970 \u2014 soit presque 50 ans \u2014, Brian Soehner s'investit dans le 1<sup>er</sup> Groupe des scouts d'Elmira. Depuis 10 ans, il occupe les fonctions de commissaire. Motiv\u00e9 par l'altruisme, Brian travaille aupr\u00e8s des jeunes pour leur inculquer d'importantes le\u00e7ons de vie et partager avec eux sa passion pour le plein air et l'environnement. Sans l'influence de Brian, l'identit\u00e9 des scouts d'Elmira ne serait pas ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui. Ce sont des gens comme Brian qui font de ma collectivit\u00e9 la meilleure au pays. Remercions Brian de sa contribution.</p>"
