I received this interesting medal in a consignment a decade ago. I had no clue what it was but had several periods of interest which resulted in researching its background. Talking to librarians and archivists in Canada, along with copies of newspaper articles from the time resulted in the mystery being solved. The towns of Edmonton and Strathcona were situated on the opposite side of the North Saskatchewan River, Edmonton in Alberta and Strathcona in Saskatchewan.

In 1911 both cities had a public vote concerning unifying into one city (Edmonton) in Alberta. The towns voted 1185-274 in favor of amalgamation. They celebrated an Amalgamation day in 1912, part of which was celebratory athletic games and contests. Thirty of these medals were minted for the winners of the games, with their names lightly stamped into the medal. This one was won by The Johnson Brothers.
