Released on February 3, 2015
Nominations are open until Tuesday, February 17 for the second year of the Premier’s Service Club Award.
“Service clubs and fraternal organizations make our communities better places, which improves the quality of life for all Saskatchewan residents,” Premier Brad Wall said. “I encourage all citizens to nominate one of these dedicated organizations which are so deserving of our gratitude for the work they do.”
This award was launched in 2013 to recognize service clubs and fraternal organizations which are ineligible to receive group recognition under other current provincial honours and awards programs. Up to four awards will be given annually.
For a nomination form and a list of eligible organizations:
The inaugural recipients of this award were the Balgonie Elks No. 572; the Kipling and District Lions Club; the Meadow Lake Kinsmen and Kinettes; and the Young Fellows’ Club of Weyburn.
