CENTENNIAL MEDAL PRESENTATIONS TO FIRST NATIONS AND MÉTIS WOMEN

Released on May 10, 2005

Lieutenant Governor Lynda Haverstock presented the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal to First Nations and Métis Women in Regina today.

The commemorative medal recognizes and honours the important role individuals have played in the development of the province. The province has also designated 2005 as the Year of First Nations and Métis Women in Saskatchewan.

"Aboriginal women are the keepers of wisdom and traditions in their communities. They are resilient, compassionate, and generous. The Centennial Medal is but one way to acknowledge these deserving women who play such an important role in our province," Haverstock said.

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 will also receive the medal.

"I am pleased that the 100th Anniversary of our province is also a time to recognize the many contributions of First Nations and Métis people and in particular, the recognition of First Nations and Métis women who are the foundation and souls of their families and communities," Provincial Secretary Joan Beatty said.

Approximately 4,000 Saskatchewan Centennial Medals will be presented to individuals at ceremonies held throughout the province this year.
