A local woman has been recognized by St. John Ambulance for her longtime dedication to the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program.
For almost 10 years, Bev Banister and her dog Sheldon have regularly visited Hastings Manor, Hospice Quinte, Loyalist College, local high schools and other organizations.
Last Saturday, Banister and 16 other people were awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal.
The Coronation Medal was created to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III in 2023.
The award is presented by partner organizations like St. John Ambulance to people who make significant contributions to the country, region, or community.
