CENTENNIAL MEDALS PRESENTED IN HUMBOLDT

Chief Judge Gerald Seniuk, of the Provincial Court, presented the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal on behalf of Lieutenant Governor Lynda Haverstock to recipients in Humboldt today.

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

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.
