Davidson Cahill Morrison LLP is proud to announce Ron Strike as a recent recipient of the Coronation Medal which was conferred upon him by King Charles III.
The Coronation Medal commemorates the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III as King of Canada. The medal is administered by the Chancellery of Honours at Rideau Hall.
Recipients of this distinguished award must have made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community of Canada.
For over 30 years, Ron has steadfastly represented victims of car accidents, slip and falls, and denied long-term disability benefits in the Clarington and Durham Region community.
He has been a significant donor to and participant in the redevelopment of the Bowmanville Hospital, a shareholder and board member of Bowmanville’s largest medical center and the president of Valleys 2000, a non profit organization that partners with Clarington to oversee the Bowmanville and Soper Creek Valleys and development of the Bowmanville Zoo Park.
On behalf of everyone at Davidson Cahill Morrison LLP, we applaud Ron for his impressive community achievements and well deserved recognition.

A cautionary read for insurers and contractors alike.
