Honour badge
The newest symbol of the city is Honour decoration which was approved of in 1998, on the day when Latvia celebrated its 80 years anniversary – November 18. Creation of such decoration was the initiative of the ex-Chairman Uldis Ivans.
Decoration is awarded twice in the year - during the City festival in May and on the Eve of the Independece Day. About 60 persons have received Honour decoration by now.
