The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) recently distributed 12 Diamond Jubilee medals, recognizing elected officials and civil servants for their contributions to their community and to the province.
Among the recipients was Yorkton resident Randy Goulden. SUMA had the opportunity to nominate 12 individuals for the medal through the Federation of Canadian Munici-palities.
"Urban governments all across Saskatchewan have benefitted from the service of these 12 people," comments SUMA President Allan Earle. "We are proud to recognize them for the time and effort they put forth in service of their communities, and for SUMA."
Randy Goulden, along with Sharon Armstrong, Fred Clipsham, Ken Engel, Barry Gunther, Al Heron, Russ Krywulak, Laurent Mougeot, Keith Schneider, Gordon Stomp, and Bobby Woods all received a medal for their services to SUMA.
Goulden is currently serving her fourth term on Yorkton City Council, and was re-elected to the SUMA Board in November. She has done great work, not only for SUMA, but also on the international scene. She has supported local governments across the world, and encourages women to become involved in local government.
