The Medal was created in May 2003 by the Legislature through amendments to The Provincial Emblems and Honours Act. The legislation establishes the Medal as an official honour of The Crown in right of Saskatchewan, to be presented by the Lieutenant Governor or her designate. It has been granted status in the Canadian Precedence of Orders, Decorations and Medals.
Recipients receive a medal displaying the provincial motto under a wreath of western red lilies surmounted by the St. Edward’s Crown. The words “Saskatchewan 1905-2005″ are around the circumference of the medal. On the reverse of the medal is the provincial shield of arms. The medal is suspended from a ribbon of gold with two narrow green stripes.
