In recognition of their commitment to Freedom Party over and above the call of duty, the following individuals have each been presented with one of Freedom Party's "Freedom 200" awards, an attractive gold-plated pin (2 cm diameter) bearing the party's official icon (a green maple leaf with the white letters "FP" and Ontario's official icon, the trillium, each set inside the leaf) set on a base with "Freedom Party" spelled out in gold letters against a black background.

To qualify for the honour, each recipient must have been with the party for no less than one year, contributed above and beyond the minimum support level required, and attended a Freedom Party dinner or event at which the pin was awarded. Each of the people listed below have met these criteria and will be recognized as being among the first two hundred individuals who helped make Freedom Party a reality by becoming part of the solid foundation of support upon which our past, current, and future progress rests. Only 200 of the pins will ever be awarded.

The first 31 pins were presented by FP president Robert Metz on the September 1989 weekend of the Michael Emerling Art of Political Persuasion Workshop, while 6 more were presented at FP's Sunday morning brunch with Dr. Walter Block on the environment in late October 1989. More awards will be presented at upcoming functions and/or events.

Congratulations are extended to each of the following recipients listed below; they are among those whose past and continuing support of Freedom Party will always be recognized in the challenging years ahead.
