CENTENNIAL MEDAL PRESENTATIONS IN PRINCE ALBERT

Lieutenant Governor Lynda Haverstock presented the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal to recipients in Prince Albert today.

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

"The Saskatchewan Centennial Medal celebrates individuals who give of their time and energy to improve the lives of others," Haverstock said. "These outstanding citizens exemplify values that define our province, including work ethic, community service, and foresight."

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 also receive the medal.

"Saskatchewan people are known for their spirit, their innovation and for their generosity," Provincial Secretary Joan Beatty said. "The Medal provides us with an opportunity to celebrate these qualities and the people who demonstrate them."

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