RCMP searching for owner of recovered Governor General’s Academic Medal

Red Deer RCMP are hoping to find the owner of a Governor General’s Academic Medal recovered as stolen property during an arrest in June.

Mounties say while the medal may not have a specific monetary value, it’s believed the award would hold great sentimental value to its owner as the Governor General’s Academic Medal is a significant Canadian honour.

They are awarded to students in Canada for outstanding scholastic achievements, with police speculating it was awarded to a secondary school or diploma level student.

If you believe you are the owner of this medal, contact Red Deer RCMP Exhibits staff at 403-406-2574.
