Nominations for 2020 Sask Order of Merit open

Do you know someone who has made a significant contribution to the province? Nominations are now being accepted for the 2020 Saskatchewan Order of Merit.

The Saskatchewan Order of Merit was established in 1985 to recognize excellence, achievement and contributions to the cultural, social, and economic well-being of the province.  

Nominees must be current or former long-term residents of Saskatchewan.  Any individual or group can submit a nomination, but the nomination must be for an individual, not an organization.  

Posthumous nominations are accepted within one year of an individual’s date of death.

The recipients of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit will be invested by the Lieutenant Governor at a ceremony in early 2020.  The deadline to nominate an individual is November 1.

“We have so many impressive and generous people in our communities,” Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty said in a press release. “The Saskatchewan Order of Merit enables us to celebrate the achievements of remarkable citizens. I encourage everyone to consider nominating a deserving individual to receive our highest honour.”
