A new award known as The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (Saskatchewan) has been created to celebrate the 70th anniversary year of Her Majesty’s Accession to the Throne. A total of 7,000 medals will be awarded at ceremonies held throughout the province, to honor the Queen’s service to Canada, during the Platinum Jubilee Year. This new medal program will be the focus of the Government of Saskatchewan’s Jubilee year commemorations.
Residents of Moose Jaw are being encouraged, by the City of Moose Jaw, to nominate deserving Moose Javians for the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee medal.
“If you know someone that is deserving, who has achieved greatness and helped to build our province. Please think about nominating them,” said Mayor Clive Tolley.
The province says "the criteria for the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (Saskatchewan) is broad. Recipients should be of all ages, from all walks of life, provided that they have made a contribution to society”.
There are three minimum criteria that medal recipients must reach to be considered for the medal, those criteria being:
• They are a resident of Saskatchewan, or they have a link to Saskatchewan at the time of the granted medal.
• They have made contributions to Canada, Saskatchewan, or to a particular region or community.
• They were alive on February 6, 2022, the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty’s Accession to the Throne.
