Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan's relationship with the sovereign continues to be rich and diverse. For example, you have chosen to recognize your citizens through honours of the provincial Crown, including the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal which I have just presented. It provides a unique opportunity to show our gratitude for the men and women who devote their careers to ensuring our well-being – people who sometimes put their own safety and even their lives at risk to protect us all.[20]
