November 17, 2009Muki Baum Receives Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship!
Provincial honours are a memorable and distinctive way for the government of Ontario to thank and pay special tribute to those Ontarians whose lives exemplify excellence and achievement of the highest order. The men and women who are honoured are truly representative of the province of Ontario’s caring and diverse society, and their lives and deeds stand as shining examples for us all.
In 1973, the government of Ontario established the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship to recognize people who, through exceptional long-term efforts, have made outstanding contributions to the well being of their communities. Their assistance is given without expectation of remuneration or reward.
We decided to nominate Michael “Muki” Baum for his hard work, dedication and ability to inspire others each and every day. He has raised over $550,000.00 in the last 21 years and has a true passion for bettering the lives of children and adults with complex disabilities. He has never seen his disability as anything more than a mere obstacle at times, and he continues to live his life to its fullest, much in part to being given so many opportunities thanks to Nehama and Moshe Baum.
We are so thrilled to report, that out of hundreds of nominations, Muki was one of 11 winners of the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship!!!
In the presence of The Honourable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, The Honourable Michael Chan, Ontario Minister of Citizenship and Immigration awarded the Medals at a private Ceremony last night at Queen’s Park. The recipients and their guests were then treated to a special dinner at The Sutton Place Hotel.
Muki was so excited to receive the medal and was never without a huge smile on his face for the entire evening!
