Saskatchewan residents have until April 30 to nominate provincial employees for the 2013 Premier's Award for Excellence in the Public Service. The award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the government and citizens of the province.
"Saskatchewan's public servants are key to our government's public sector renewal, providing the residents of this province with innovative, efficient and responsive programs and services," Premier Brad Wall says.
"I encourage everyone across Saskatchewan to nominate the public service employee or team who has provided outstanding services in their community."
Individuals or teams from government ministries, some Treasury Board Crown corporations, boards, commissions and agencies are eligible for nomination by the public service, stakeholder organizations, clients and the public. Selections are made by an independent committee.
Up to six awards will be announced during National Public Service Week in June.
