Dr. Michael Carlson, emeritus scientist with the Ministry of Forests,
Lands and Natural Resource Operations, has been awarded the Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal. The medal, which commemorates the 60th year of Queen Elizabeth
II's reign, was presented to Carlson by Forests, Lands and Natural
Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson in a ceremony at the Kalamalka Forestry Centre today. Carlson started working for government in 1982, eventually leading
a lodgepole pine genetics research program that has had a major
positive impact on reforestation in the province. He retired in 2010
but continues to work in forestry as volunteer emeritus scientist. Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve
Thomson says, "The Queen has chosen the theme of service for this
milestone year, and no one is more deserving of recognition than Dr.
Carlson. His work has been of tremendous service to the people of the
province, and has had a lasting impact on forest genetics and forestry
in British Columbia." The Jubilee medal recognizes people who have dedicated themselves
to serving their community, their country and their fellow Canadians.
Over the course of the year, the B.C. government is presenting
approximately 760 Jubilee medals.
