“She has been a tireless volunteer for numerous groups and special events.”
Moe also commended Lt-Gov. Russ Mirasty and his wife Donna for their many contributions to the province.
“Everywhere they travelled throughout Saskatchewan, their genuine warmth and kindness touched the people they met,” Moe said.
