Congratulations on your Ukrainian Veteran Award

Mr Armin Konn, who lives in Scarborough Ontario, was awarded the Bohdan Khmelnytski Medal, third level, which is awarded to veterans for distinguished war time service. He also recently received the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for his lifelong work with Canadian Air Cadets, Squadron 618 on Queen Street. He teaches young cadets how to fly and relays his fascinating stories of his World War II experiences. All his cadets enjoy their mentor and teacher and were delighted with his recent awards and distinctions. These are not his only medals. In the past, Mr. Konn received several awards from the Ukrainian government, including an award for being a “Veteran of World War II” from President Leonid Kravchuk in 1994. Former Canadian Ambassador Yurij Scherbak awarded Mr. Konn with a “Defender of the Homeland” medal in 2001, in Ottawa. We welcome distinguished Mr Armin Konn with his new award and wish him continued good health, boundless energy and continued motivation to work in and serve the community
