Saskatchewan residents have until July 5 to nominate individuals for the province's highest honour, the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. The Order of Merit recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the well-being of the province and its residents.

"When I meet recipients of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, I am filled with pride for their accomplishments and admiration for their remarkable character," Lieutenant Governor Dr. Gordon Barnhart said. "They inspire public engagement and lofty goals. I encourage the citizens of our great province to nominate worthy people in their communities to celebrate excellence and leadership."

The fields of endeavour recognized by this honour include: arts, agriculture, business and industry, community leadership, occupations or professions, public service, research, sport and recreation and community service.

Any Saskatchewan resident, or former resident, is eligible for nomination with the exception of current elected members of the Legislature or Parliament and judges currently holding office. Nominations are accepted for individuals only, not for couples, groups or organizations. Posthumous nominations are accepted within one year of the date of the person's death.
