Rewritten Article:
Roll up your sleeves, folks, here's the lowdown on some unsung heroes in our community!
Meet Reno Laseur, Geoff Baxter, and Ted McClung - three remarkable individuals who recently received the King Charles III Coronation Medal for their outstanding commitment to the residents of Edmonton.
These dedicated volunteers have been working tirelessly alongside Habitat for Humanity Edmonton, an organization focused on delivering affordable housing solutions for those in need.
"These volunteers embody the heart and soul of Habitat for Humanity," stated a press release from Habitat for Humanity Edmonton. "Their quiet leadership and longstanding commitment have had a profound impact on the lives of countless Albertans, providing them with hope, safety, and a stepping stone to better futures."
Reno Laseur, a passionate advocate for the organization's mission, expressed heartfelt gratitude for this recognition, stating, "I am both humbled and honored by this distinction. I love what we're doing at Habitat for Humanity, and working alongside some incredible people makes it all worthwhile."
Geoff Baxter, also a devoted member, shared Laseur's sentiments, saying, "This recognition comes as a surprise, but it's deeply appreciated. It's a testament to the hard work and dedication of so many people who come together to make a positive difference in our community."
As for Ted McClung, the modestly-spoken fix-it guy, he summed up his experience volunteering for Habitat for Humanity Edmonton by saying, "I'm just a regular Joe who repairs cupboards, builds beds, and assembles things. Working with Habitat for Humanity has been an incredibly rewarding second career for me."
Volunteers like Laseur, Baxter, and McClung play an essential role in Habitat for Humanity Canada, which has been making a difference in the lives of families for over four decades.
"The dedication shown by these volunteers reminds us that lasting change is possible when ordinary people choose to take a stand and make a difference," remarked Dr. Ann-Marie Reddy, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Edmonton. "We're incredibly proud of their contributions and honored to celebrate them with this well-deserved recognition."
The medals were bestowed upon the trio by Her Honour, Salma Lakhani, the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, during a special ceremony.
This recognition comes just before National Volunteer Week, which takes place from April 27th to May 3rd, celebrating the extraordinary efforts of volunteers across the nation.
By volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, these heroes have not only demonstrated their commitment to community service but have also made a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals and families in need. #HabitatForHumanity #CommunityServants #VolunteerSpotlight #MakeADifference
