Saskatchewan’s Lieutenant Governor announced the names of six individuals who will become the next recipients of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, the province’s highest honour.

Russ Mirasty says, “These Saskatchewan Order of Merit recipients have taken on challenges and dedicated themselves to making positive change in their communities.” Mirasty says their efforts have made a remarkable impact on Sasktchewan and its people.

The latest recipients include Al Anderson, Elder Nora Cummings, Pierre Hucl, and Don Meikle all of Saskatoon as ell as Neal Hardy from Hudson Bay and Jacqueline Tisher of Regina.

The Saskatchewan Order of Merit was established in 1985 to celebrate excellence and achievement by Saskatchewan citizens. To date, 266 individuals have been invested. These medal recipients will be invested with the Order at a formal ceremony in Saskatoon on Sept. 27, 2023.
