Today, Provincial Secretary Nadine Wilson joined Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield in Regina to present the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal to recipients.“This medal honours public protective service providers and our first responders,” Wilson said. “It recognizes those ‘who guard the citizenry’ which is the translation of the motto written in Latin on the medals presented today.”
The medal recognizes individuals with 25 years or more of exemplary service protecting Saskatchewan people or their property in either a volunteer or a full-time capacity.

Recipients vary and can include firefighters, police officers, corrections workers, Canadian Forces members, RCMP, conservation officers, deputy sheriffs, Canada Border Services Agency officers and emergency medical responders.
The medal was established in 2003. The Saskatchewan Protective Services insignia comprises a circular medal displaying a shield, stylized western red lily and a royal lion and surmounted by the St. Edward’s Crown. The medal is suspended from a ribbon of green and gold stripes, the official colours of the Province of Saskatchewan.
