REGINA, Sask. — Today, recipients of the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal are being honoured by Lt.-Gov. Bernadette McIntyre and Provincial Secretary Jamie Martens during a pair of ceremonies in Regina.
"The Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal recognizes long-serving protective services personnel whose hard work and dedication supported the wellbeing of people, families and communities across Saskatchewan," Martens said.
"Congratulations to the recipients and thank you for your leadership and outstanding contributions to this province."
This year, 204 individuals will receive the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal in recognition of 25 or more years of exemplary service. Recipients represent a wide range of protective service professions, including police, fire, federal and provincial corrections, border services, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canadian Armed Forces and mobile crisis and family violence outreach services.
In addition to today's ceremonies in Regina, a Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal ceremony was held in Saskatoon on Sept. 10.
