OXFORD COUNTY - The King Charles Coronation Medal has been given to an Oxford County resident.

Doctor Grace Vincent was presented with the medal at a ceremony hosted by Woodstock-Oxford Rotary.

She has volunteered her professional skills on numerous medical and dental mission trips to developing countries, exemplifying Rotary’s motto of ‘Service Above Self.’ Locally, she has also given her time at Woodstock General Hospital and taught senior exercise classes through the VON’s SMART program. Oxford County MPP, Ernie Hardeman speaks highly of Doctor Vincent.

"Dr Grace Vincent is an inspiring member of the Oxford community” A retired dentist and maxillofacial surgeon from the Philippines, she immigrated to Canada in 2010 and has since become a Canadian citizen, a dedicated volunteer, performer and global ambassador of goodwill."

Hardeman continued with the praise these comments.

"Her vibrant spirit is well known through the region. Dr Grace regularly shares her talent as a singer and performer at community events, church gatherings and with the Embro Thistle Theatre” She is also a part-time television host and entertainer, whose presence uplifts and connects audiences across cultures."

Doctor Vincent gives her thoughts about the honour.

"I am both honoured and humbled by this distinguished recognition” Since childhood, I was taught to help others with compassion and Rotary provides this opportunity for me. My medical career, television and fashion activities have also provided a platform for me to assist others."

In 2024, Grace proudly brought international recognition to Oxford County at the Dubai World Pageant, earning the title of Mrs. Global World, in addition to Mrs. Queen of Hearts and Mrs. Best Talented.
