French River mayor Gisèle Pageau will receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal Saturday at an event marking International Women's Day.

The medal is presented to individuals who have made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community of Canada, or have made an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.

"I'm quite surprised and I guess in awe because there's a lot of fantastic women out there that certainly deserve the prize. And I'm quite honoured, actually," Pageau said.
