CENTENNIAL MEDAL PRESENTED AT LEGISLATURE

Lieutenant Governor Lynda Haverstock presented the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal to recipients at the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina today.

The commemorative medal recognizes and honours the important role individuals have played in the development of communities in the province.

"The Saskatchewan Centennial Medal celebrates people who give generously of their time and energy to improve the lives of others. These characteristics define our citizens, past and present," Haverstock said.

Medal recipients are selected based on the recommendation of governmental and non-governmental organizations and Members of the Legislative Assembly. Community leaders, MLAs, MPs and judges will also receive the medal.

"Our centennial provides us with an opportunity to celebrate 100 years of remarkable people who have made our province a great place to live, work and raise a family," Provincial Secretary Joan Beatty said.

Approximately 4,000 Saskatchewan Centennial Medals will be presented to
individuals at ceremonies held throughout the province this year.
