It's obvious members of council and staff in Chester can keep a secret. Long time warden Allen Webber was presented with a Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal in a surprise presentation during council this morning. Deputy Warden Floyd Shatford says Webber is a deserving recipient after committing over three decades of his life to Chester through his role as a councillor and warden.However, Shatford says they wanted it to be a surprise.
Webber says he is grateful and humbled by the recognition from his colleagues. The medal serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians and was created to recognize the Queens 60th anniversary of her accession to the Throne.
