Volunteers are the backbone of any community, and now you can formally recognize these individuals for their tireless efforts.
Nominations are now open for the 2020 Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal.
“We absolutely rely on volunteers, who make important contributions in our communities,” Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty said in a press release. “Please help us to recognize these generous and capable people by nominating a deserving individual for the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal.”
Saskatchewan has the highest rate of volunteerism in the country. The Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal was established in 1995 as a means to formally recognize the selfless devotion of the province’s volunteers, and as a way to present role models to Saskatchewan citizens.
Moose Jaw’s Christine Boyczuk was among the recipients of the 2018 Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal.
Nominees must be a current or former long-term resident of Saskatchewan. Any individual or group can submit a nomination, but nominations are not accepted for organizations.
Nominations can be submitted online.
The deadline for nominations is Oct. 18.
