Lieutenant Governor Lynda Haverstock presented the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal in Saskatoon today. The medal recognizes individuals who have 25 years of exemplary service protecting the people of Saskatchewan or their property. This can be in either a volunteer or a full-time capacity.

Recipients receiving the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal at the ceremony today included:

• Environment personnel from Prince Albert, Big River, Chitek Lake and Porcupine Plain;

• A Canada Border Service Agency member from Saskatoon; and

"Working in the protective services field requires a special kind of person. It is important to recognize individuals who have dedicated much of their lives to protect the people and property of our province," Justice Minister Frank Quennell said on behalf of Provincial Secretary Glenn Hagel. "I am pleased that we have the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal as a way to honour those who play a special role in our security and quality of life."

The Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal is part of the provincial honours and awards program. More information on the program is available at www.gr.gov.sk.ca/protocol.
