"Nominations are now open for the 2018 recipients of the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal.
“The Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal provides an opportunity for us to honour our committed volunteers,” Lieutenant Governor W. Thomas Molloy said.  “Saskatchewan has a proud tradition of volunteerism, and I encourage everyone to nominate an outstanding volunteer for this prestigious honour.”

Saskatchewan has the highest rate of volunteerism in the country.  The Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal was established in 1995 as a means to formally recognize the selfless devotion of the province’s volunteers, and as a way to present role models to Saskatchewan citizens.

Nominees must be a current or former long-term resident of Saskatchewan. Any individual or group can submit a nomination, but nominations are not accepted for organizations.

Recipients of the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal will be awarded their medals by the Lieutenant Governor at a ceremony in 2019.

Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal


In 1995, the Government of Saskatchewan established a decoration to recognize the volunteer sector on the occasion of the province's 90th anniversary: the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal. Saskatchewan has the highest rate of volunteerism in Canada.  Each volunteer reaches outside his or her personal activities to help others and make daily life in our province better for everyone.  Formal recognition of volunteers is a way both of expressing the gratitude of the community and of presenting role models to the people of the province.

While the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, established in 1985 as the province's highest honour, does recognize volunteer or community service, this is only one among many fields of endeavour for which the Order is bestowed.  Prior to 1995 the volunteer sector in Saskatchewan was not adequately recognized by the provincial government.
