Harold Robertson (1970) was one of 21 Canadians from Nova Scotia receiving the King Charles III Coronation Medal last month. The medal is conferred on individuals who have made significant contributions to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community, or have made an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada. 

Dr Robertson has spent over four decades at Dalhousie University in the Faculty of Medicine and has served as an emeritus professor in the Departments of Pharmacology and Psychiatry. Much of his research has focused on improving the awareness, prevention and treatment of neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s disease.
