SASKATCHEWAN ORDER OF MERIT PRESENTED TO TWELVE CITIZENS

Released on November 9, 2005

Lieutenant Governor Dr. Lynda Haverstock presented twelve recipients with the Saskatchewan Order of Merit at an investiture in Regina today.

The Order of Merit is the province's highest honour and recognizes outstanding contributions in the arts, business, the professions, research, education, community leadership and public service.

"Like those who have previously been invested into the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, these twelve individuals are ordinary people who have accomplished the extraordinary," said the Lieutenant Governor. "They are proof that everyone is capable of greatness, and they inspire others to strive for excellence and to give generously of their time and abilities."

The recipients are:

• Freda Ahenakew, author and university professor;

• Donald Black, businessman;

• Maria Campbell, writer and university professor;

• Irène Fournier Chabot, Francophone leader;

• Dr. James Dosman, medical researcher;

• Dr. Bryan Harvey, scientist and university professor;

• Lusia Pavlychenko, teacher and choreographer of dance;

• Joseph Pettick, architect;

• Garnet (Sam) Richardson, real estate agent;

• John (Frank) Roy, retired educator;

• Dr. Aruna (Annu) Thakur, psychiatrist; and

• The Most Reverend James Weisgerber, Archbishop.

Including the 12 new members, there have been 134 appointments to the Order of Merit since its inception in 1985.
