“Saskatchewan’s motto is, ‘from many peoples, strength,’ and these six exceptional individuals exemplify the strength our province derives from its citizens,” said Molloy, a U of S alum who served as the chancellor of the university from 2001 to 2007.
The 2018 recipients who are U of S alumni are:
- Dr. Robert Calder, professor emeritus and author, Saskatoon;
- Maurice Delage, president of Delage Farms Ltd., Indian Head.
Long-time U of S library employee Neil Richards, LGBT archivist and activist of Saskatoon was also inducted posthumously. Noted Canadian playwright and former U of S student Gail Bowen was inducted as well.
This year’s investees into the Saskatchewan Order of Merit will join the 229 individuals who have previously been invested.
