Our Famous Medals

Congratulations to our 2022 'Great Canadian' Award Winners - RUSH!

Every year the participants get to choose a ‘Great Canadian’ and have their likeness put on the medal. This year the Canada D’Eh runners and walkers must choose a ‘Great Canadian’ from Dr David Suzuki, Viola Desmond and the Band RUSH as they were the top vote-getters from last year's event voting. Not only do they vote on one of the three but they make a suggestion of who they want to see on next year’s medal. Those votes are tabulated, and the top three are chosen, and they are voted on to next years ‘Great Canadian’.

The 2022 ‘Great Canadian’ award will honour the band RUSH. Toronto-based Prog-Rock trio Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and the Late Neil Peart are RUSH They will be immortalized on the 2022 Canada D’Eh Run 5K finisher’s medal. The medal is limited to only 2500 participants.
