Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal

Saskatchewan has one of the highest rates of volunteerism in Canada. By helping others, each volunteer makes daily life in our province better for everyone. Formal recognition of volunteers helps express the gratitude of the community, and also presents role models to the people of the province.

In 1995, on the occasion of Saskatchewan’s 90th anniversary, the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal was established to help recognize the province’s volunteers.

More details can be found on the Government of Saskatchewan’s website.
