The six recipients of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit will be honoured at a special ceremony tonight.
It’s the highest honour in the province.
The 2019 recipients are:
- Don Atchison, Saskatoon
- Doug Cuthand, Saskatoon
- Lyn Goldman, Regina
- Grit McCreath, Calgary and Waskesiu
- Dr. Andy Potter, Saskatoon
- Dr. William Francis Ready, Regina
Chief Justice Robert Richards will present the awards on behalf of Lieutenant Governor W. Thomas Molloy.
“I've had awards internationally and stuff, but it didn't have the same kind of effect as having something where you're right here in your backyard and you're being recognized,” recipient Doug Cuthand said. “I think that's very important.”
The ceremony will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Conexus Arts Centre.
