There was some worthy recognition for a couple of longtime firefighters with the City of North Battleford at Monday’s council meeting. Firefighters Leslie Markewich, who began with the fire department in 1997, and Trevor Watts, who began in 1991, were both recipients of the Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal, honouring members of a Canadian fire service who have completed 20 years of service, 10 of which have been served in performance of duties involving potential risks. They were presented their medals by Mayor Ryan Bater and Fire Chief Trevor Brice. Photo by John Cairns
