Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Medals Awarded in Saskatoon

Nearly 250 Saskatoon and area residents were honoured with Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Medal at two ceremonies at TCU Place on Friday, March 24. The recipients were honoured for their efforts to build a strong, vibrant society and province through their service, contributions and achievements.

Recipients were presented their awards by His Honour Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan Russ Mirasty with His Worship Mayor Charlie Clark in attendance.

“I have been around long enough to see first-hand the amazing contributions these people have made. I wish there would have been time to share the story of each one of them: so many community builders across all sectors of our community.  Many of them do their work quietly and rarely get recognized,” says Mayor Clark. “When so much of what we hear about on the news or social media is conflict, division, or selfishness, seeing all of these people gathered who have given their time and passion to build a better community, was a powerful antidote and reminder of how much selflessness and goodness we have here in Saskatoon. I feel incredibly grateful and inspired to be part of this city.”

The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (Saskatchewan) celebrates the 70th anniversary year of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Accession to the Throne, which began on February 6, 2022. Saskatchewan cities were invited to be involved in the selection process for recipients from their region to receive the medal. The City of Saskatoon was allotted and provided 247 Queen Jubilee Medals in partnership with the Province of Saskatchewan. A listing of recipients is available on saskatoon.ca/jubileemedal

A total of 7,000 medals will be awarded at ceremonies held throughout the province during the Platinum Jubilee year. A listing of recipients will be available on saskatchewan.ca.
