Amaths Pillar of the Community Canada 572 Posts	Posted 12/05/2013 10:00 am Any information regarding this 35-year long service medal will be apprecaited. Diameter 57mm, Thickness: 5mm, Weight: 106g. Possibly .900 or .925 silver. My guess is that it was awarded to a public servant who had worked at the Hill. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Amaths 12/05/2013 1:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Amaths Pillar of the Community Canada 572 Posts	Posted 12/05/2013 11:18 am Yeap. The name and the dates below were engraved. Does this piece look like a work of the RCM? Report this Post to the Staff

artdio Pillar of the Community 1844 Posts	Posted 12/05/2013 12:18 pm Not 100% sure but I would think this was given to an employee for maybe 25 years of service.. It should be sterling silver Report this Post to the Staff
Amaths Pillar of the Community Canada 572 Posts	Posted 12/05/2013 1:35 pm Sorry for the poor pics. The engraved dates were 1954-1989. Do people still work at one place for 35 years nowadays? Edited by Amaths 12/05/2013 1:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I worked with a guy who had been at the same place (though not gov't) for 44 years and that wasn't even 'the office record'. Cool medallion. I wonder how many years one had to put in to get one, and if they still award them today. Report this Post to the Staff
persistnt Pillar of the Community Canada 726 Posts	Posted 12/05/2013 4:29 pm I may hav 32 years with Government in 2017.......At 25 years I was happy to get a Clock---could hav got a ring with 50cent piece on top looked good but that was my 2nd choiice...That medal I would agree is for 35 years service---although I am totaly unfamiliar with it....I agree it is nice....good job....If not 35 service then may 15 or 20 as a member of House...Commons...... I would definitely say they do not give them out today and not even a decade ago either....... Edited by persistnt 12/05/2013 4:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
