The medals are meant to recognize people who made significant contributions to their community.
Over the next three weeks, all 150 medals will be handed out at various ceremonies happening all over the city.
Along with the medal, each recipient is getting a tree planted in their name at a city park.
“These recipients represent what makes Winnipeg special – people who give their time and energy to build a better future for all of us. I’m proud to recognize their efforts, and look forward to personally presenting some of these medals as we continue to mark this milestone year together,” said Mayor Scott Gillingham.
