We generally know who they are. They are the movers and the shakers, they don't sit back and wait for change to happen, they make it happen. They are leaders. They are contributors and now is our chance to show them the appreciation they justly deserve.
Saskatchewan residents have until July 5 to nominate individuals for the province's highest honour, the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. The Order of Merit recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the well-being of the province and its residents.
And there are many.
"The Saskatchewan Order of Merit enables us to honour the generous, the capable, and the visionary citizens of our province," Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield says. "I encourage everyone to consider nominating a deserving individual to receive our highest honour."
The fields of endeavour recognized by this honour include: arts; agriculture; business and industry; community leadership; occupations or professions; public service; research; sport and recreation; and community service.
All current and former Saskatchewan residents are eligible for nomination, with the exception of presently serving Members of Parliament, the Legislature and members of the judiciary.
Nominations are accepted for individuals only. Posthumous nominations will be considered within one year of the person's death.
To obtain a nomination form, or for more information on the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, call 1-877-427-5505 or visit the website at www.ops.gov.sk.ca/som.
Dont' miss out on your chance to nominate someone great!
