CENTENNIAL MEDALS PRESENTED IN MOOSE JAW

Lieutenant Governor Lynda Haverstock presented the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal to recipients in Moose Jaw today.

The Medal recognizes the important role that individuals have played in the development of communities in the province.

"The Saskatchewan Centennial Medal honours our citizens for their outstanding contributions," Haverstock said. "We can take great pride in the extraordinary people who call Saskatchewan home."

Recipients are selected based on the recommendation of governmental and non-governmental organizations and Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). Community leaders, MLAs, Members of Parliament and judges also receive the medal.

"Our provincial motto 'from many peoples strength' is shown in people working together in small towns, cities and communities," Provincial Secretary Glenn Hagel said. "The people we honour with this Medal personify just why many Saskatchewanians have concluded that the world could use a little more Saskatchewan."

Approximately 4,200 Saskatchewan Centennial Medals are being presented at ceremonies held throughout the province.
