Today Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty will be joined by Provincial Secretary Todd Goudy to honour the latest recipients of the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal at a ceremony in Regina. This ceremony follows medal presentations in Saskatoon earlier this month.
“Protective services are an essential role in keeping our communities safe,” Goudy said. “Without the men and women who sacrifice their welfare, many of us would not be here today. This medal is a way for us to acknowledge their work and thank them for the selfless contributions to our society.”
The medal honours personnel with 25 years of service in Saskatchewan in the emergency services field, including police services, fire services, emergency medical services, mobile crisis services and family violence outreach services.
This year, the medal will be presented to 153 individuals from rural and urban communities across Saskatchewan. Three medal ceremonies were also held in Saskatoon earlier this month.
Recipients receive a circular medal surmounted by the St. Edward’s Crown. The medal bears the motto Qui civitatem tuentur (who guard the citizenry).
