HONOURING SASKATCHEWAN'S PROTECTIVE SERVICES PERSONNEL

Released on March 23, 2007

Lieutenant Governor Gordon Barnhart presented the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal in Saskatoon today. The medal recognizes individuals who have 25 years or more 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:

  • Corrections workers from Saskatoon and Prince Albert;
  • Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Service members;
  • Emergency services personnel from Beechy-Demaine and Swift Current;
  • Fire protection personnel from Imperial, Kindersley, Melfort, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Watrous;
  • Municipal police from Saskatoon and Prince Albert;
  • RCMP from Nipawin, North Battleford and Regina;
  • Saskatchewan Environment personnel from Kindersley, Melfort, Shaunavon and Prince Albert; and
  • A Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation officer from Regina.

“It is important to recognize individuals who devote their lives to serving others,” Provincial Secretary Glenn Hagel said.  “I am pleased that we have the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal as a way to honour the men and women who risk their lives to keep Saskatchewan a safe and inviting place.”

The Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal was announced by Premier Lorne Calvert in 2002.  The medal is part of the Saskatchewan Honours Program that includes the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal and the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal.  The provincial Office of Protocol and Honours administers the program in close co-operation with the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police, Saskatchewan Firefighters Association and other agencies whose personnel are eligible for the honour.
