It's difficult to imagine what Saskatchewan would be like without its countless, amazing and dedicated volunteers. We can't say thanks enough for the hours and says they put in selflessly helping others and that's why a recent government announcement is good news and a small way to show our appreciation.
The province announced it is launching a new award to acknowledge volunteers. "The Premier's Service Club Award" will recognize the commitment and activities of service clubs and fraternal organizations.
"Saskatchewan's strength is in its people who have a strong history of giving back to their communities," Premier Brad Wall comments. "For decades the members of service clubs and fraternal organizations have helped their communities and those in need through the actions of the clubs and organizations they belong to. The Premier's Service Club Award will celebrate the Saskatchewan traditions of volunteerism and communities helping themselves, their members and their neighbours."
According to the announcement up to four awards will be given annually. They come in the form of a framed certificate which will be signed and presented by the Premier.
The Premier's Service Club Award is limited to service clubs and fraternal organizations currently active in Saskatchewan communities.
If you know a special group you would like to nominate, now is your chance! Additional information iis available at www.ops.gov.sk.ca or by calling 1-877-427-5505.
