Prince Rupert man honoured with King Charles III medal for championing worker's safety

Mike Calli of Prince Rupert was honored in 2025 with a medal commemorating King Charles III's coronation, recognizing his 47 years dedicated to marine safety, education, and advocacy.
His journey began with a severe head injury in 1977 when a snapped tow line shackle struck him while working for RivTow near New Westminster.
Despite immense physical and emotional trauma, Mike became a national leader, helping establish the Worker's Right to Refuse, later enshrined in national law in 1996.
Mike taught mariners through CAPPS Marine Education until retiring in 2017, and he now restores a 28-foot boat to share his love of the sea with guests non-commercially.
The medal acknowledges Mike's resilient transformation, his advocacy impact, and his role as a community builder supported by his wife Elaine and local groups like the Vietnamese community.
