Welcome to the Casselman Community Recognition Program page!
Our municipality is proud to celebrate the exceptional contributions of our citizens, groups, and businesses that make Casselman unique. Here are the different aspects of our recognition program:
We offer certificates of recognition to celebrate significant moments in the lives of our residents. You can contact the Clerk's Department at clerk@casselman.ca to obtain a certificate signed by the Mayor for the following occasions:
This medallion is intended to honor residents who have made exceptional contributions to our community in various fields such as arts, community service, economy, education, environment, public health, innovation, leadership, sports, and values. Recipients are chosen by a selection committee and receive an engraved medallion during a ceremony. Their names are also added to the municipality’s Wall of Recognition.
The Key to the City is Casselman’s highest distinction. It can be awarded to individuals or organizations that have made outstanding contributions to our community, either nationally or internationally. Nominations must be supported by ten residents. Recipients receive an engraved key during a ceremony, and their names are added to the Wall of Recognition.
All recipients of medallions or keys, as well as honored guests and visitors, can sign the municipality's Honor Guest Book. This book is a valuable archive of notable contributions and visits and is permanently kept in the Mayor’s office.
The Recognition Wall is dedicated to honoring individuals, associations, groups, and entities that have made a significant contribution to our community. It will display the names of recipients of a Community Medallion or a symbolic Key to the City, in recognition of their commitment and actions. This wall serves as a visible symbol of gratitude and tribute to those who make a positive impact in Casselman.

We recognize that this Casselman resident brings honour to the vibrant Francophone community and entrepreneurial spirit of our municipality throughout Canada and in many countries around the world. Rhéal Leroux has a distinguished career, some highlights of which are as follows:
He has distinguished himself through numerous achievements over a long career as an organizer of large-scale events and as a promoter of the Francophone community in Ontario and Canada. But this remarkable journey began in Casselman.
The medallion was presented to Aurore Crann for her commitment to highlighting the contribution of Casselman veterans during Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Mr. Félix St-Denis earned the honour of the Community service medallion for his unwavering commitment to Franco-Ontarian arts and culture.
He is much more than a volunteer: he is a community builder, a mentor to countless people, and an inspiring example of what it means to dedicate one's life to serving others. Thanks to him, Casselman is now a stronger, greener, healthier, and more united community.
In February 2005, he founded the 2804 Casselman Cadet Corps. The new organization needed a place for its meetings and activities. No problem! For several years, but especially in 2009-2010, Mr. Bédard actively contributed to the revitalization of the Paul-Émile Lévesque Centre, where the cadets still meet today for their training sessions. For the past 20 years, Mr. Bédard has been a member of the Ontario Cadet League, served on the 2804 Support Committee, and has been actively involved with the cadets through his presence, encouragement, and dedication. With a passion for youth leadership and the establishment of discipline, it is an organization he will always cherish. Thanks to its tireless support, for 20 years, more than 450 young people, aged 12 to 18, have had the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills to face life's challenges.
We invite you to participate in this program to celebrate and honor the achievements that enrich our community.
