The Municipal Assessment Agency (MAA) is proud to announce that Mayor Betty Moore of Clarke’s Beach, who also serves as the board chair and Avalon director for the agency, has been awarded the Newfoundland and Labrador Confederation 75th Anniversary Medal (1949–2024). The prestigious recognition ceremony took place on December 18, 2024, at Rumors Lounge in Avondale.
Mayor Moore was one of 17 distinguished recipients honoured with this medal, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to their communities and the province. Ms. Helen Conway-Ottenheimer, MHA for the District of Harbour Main, presented the medals and certificates on behalf of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Assisting with the presentation was Officer Shawn Hannaford of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Holyrood detachment.
“It is a great honour to recognize Mayor Moore for her extraordinary dedication and contributions to Clarke’s Beach and to Newfoundland and Labrador as a whole,” said CEO Don Hearn. “Her leadership and commitment have made a lasting impact on her community and the region.”
Mayor Moore holds the distinction of being the longest-serving mayor in Clarke’s Beach and is believed to be the longest-serving female mayor in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Her decades of service have been marked by tireless advocacy for community development and a steadfast commitment to improving the lives of residents.
The Confederation 75th Anniversary Medal commemorates Newfoundland and Labrador’s journey since joining Canada in 1949 and celebrates individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the province. This medal reflects Mayor Moore’s enduring legacy as a trailblazer and community builder.
The Municipal Assessment Agency extends heartfelt congratulations to Mayor Moore on this well-deserved honour and thanks her for her unparalleled service to the community and the province.
