CENTENNIAL MEDAL PRESENTATIONS IN ESTEVAN

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

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

"The 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.

"Our provincial motto 'from many peoples strength' is shown in people working together in small towns, cities and communities," Provincial Secretary Joan Beatty said. "The Medal provides us with an opportunity to celebrate people and thank them for their many contributions."

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