ARCHERWILL RESIDENT HONOURED

Released on October 10, 2002

An Archerwill man will be recognized at the Saskatchewan Co-operative Merit

Awards, a program that honours outstanding contributions to co-operation

and co-operative development in the province.



Don Slind will be honoured along with six other Saskatchewan residents in a

celebratory banquet on Tuesday, October 15th in Regina. The Merit Awards

ceremony is the key activity in Co-operatives Week in Saskatchewan, October

13th-19th.



"Co-operatives are a way of life in our province, providing needed goods

and services to Saskatchewan people," Industry and Resources Minister Eldon

Lautermilch said. "Individuals like Don who are dedicated to co-operative

development in the province are the reason co-ops have a substantial impact

on our economy and support and enhance the well-being of our towns, cities

and rural areas."



Don Slind has a long history of outstanding commitment to co-operative

development in the community of Archerwill. He was instrumental in the

establishment of the local co-op store and credit union. He has been on

the Board of the local Co-op for 29 years including a term as President.

He has also been a Director of the Archerwill Credit Union for four years.



Over the past 25 years, Don's service to the co-operative community has

included service with Federated Co-operatives Limited, The Co-operators,

the Saskatchewan Council for Community Development, and the Canadian Co-

operative Association.



The Saskatchewan Co-operative Merit Awards Program, now in its 23rd year,

is co-ordinated and co-sponsored by Saskatchewan Industry and Resources and

the Canadian Co-operative Association, Saskatchewan Region. Since

inception 191 awards have been distributed.



Award recipients are selected based on the outstanding contributions they

have made to co-operative development at community, provincial and national

levels. Individuals are nominated by co-operatives and credit unions and

then selected by representatives of the two sponsoring organizations.
