Ken Mott awarded the King Charles III’s Coronation Medal

On March 4th, 2025 Ken was awarded the King Charles III’s Coronation Medal in Wilberforce, Ontario. 

In giving the award, MP Jamie Schmale reflected on Ken's work with CFN,

"He has been a tireless volunteer with the Wilberforce Food Bank for the past decade often working 30 hours a week all year round. In fact, he was instrumental in establishing the Central Food Network in 2015. Last year, he drove over 25,000 kms resulting in 120,000 lbs of food being distributed across the network. "

ken's dedication changes lives

Ken’s dedication is the kind that changes lives. He doesn’t just see a problem—he finds solutions. Whether it was ensuring the Wilberforce Food Bank had a home, co-founding Heat Bank Haliburton County, being a founding member of Central Food Network or leading the charge in food rescue and food & firewood
distribution, Ken never hesitates to step up, often without recognition and always without expectation.

His impact is far-reaching, but at its heart, it’s simple: he cares. And that care has
transformed lives & this community.

Ken, on behalf of all of us who have witnessed and benefited from your tireless
efforts, thank you. Thank you for all you do and thank you for who you are. Congratulations, Ken!!

After receiving the medal, Matthew Barnett (Colour & Motion Canada) sat down with Ken for an interview:

About the ​King Charles III Coronation Medal

The King Charles III Coronation Medal was created to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on May 6, 2023.

It recognizes individuals who have made a significant contribution to a particular province, territory, region, or community in Canada, or attained an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to our country.

Thank you Ken for your ongoing dedication to our community here in Wilberforce, Haliburton County and beyond.
