Nominations are currently open for the 2027 Saskatchewan Order of Merit, the province's highest recognition for individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievement and service to Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan Order of Merit acknowledges those whose work has had a lasting and significant impact on the province and its residents. The award is designed to honour excellence across various fields, including arts, business, community leadership, public service, and volunteerism, among others.
According to the Saskatchewan Government News, recipients of the Order of Merit are selected based on the depth and breadth of their contributions. The nomination process is open to the public, allowing individuals and organizations to put forward candidates they believe meet the criteria for this provincial honour.
While the Order of Merit is a prestigious civilian honour, it is distinct from immigration pathways. It recognizes established residents for their significant contributions to Saskatchewan society and is not directly related to permanent residency applications or provincial nominee programs for immigration purposes.
Details regarding the nomination criteria, submission guidelines, and the deadline for the 2027 Order of Merit can be found on the official Saskatchewan government website.
