Reminder: Volunteer Medal Nominations Close October 18

Released on October 13, 2015

Citizens have until Sunday to submit their nominations for the next recipients of the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal and can now watch an online video showing the most recent presentation ceremony.

"This provincial honour gives us the opportunity to express gratitude to the selfless people who give so much of themselves," Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield said.  "I encourage everyone to consider nominating a deserving individual and to take a look at the online video of the ceremony from this past April to see how these medals are presented annually."

Established in 1995, the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal recognizes those who reach beyond their personal activities to help others and make daily life better for everyone.

To date, there have been 174 recipients.  Any current or former long-term resident of the province and a Canadian citizen may be nominated. Groups and organizations are ineligible, along with sitting members of Parliament, the Legislature or judiciary.

Nominations are not accepted posthumously.

In spring 2016, selected recipients will receive their Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal at a ceremony with the Lieutenant Governor in Regina.  The most recent ceremony from April 2015 – marking the 20th anniversary presentation – can be seen on YouTube:
