Back during the summer, the Government of Saskatchewan revealed the design of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (Saskatchewan) after receiving approval of the design by Her Majesty at Buckingham Palace in London.

The first Medal ceremony was held in Regina on August 30th, just several days before the Queen's eventual passing.

Another ceremony (pictured above) was held in Biggar just recently, as the Speaker of the House and local Biggar-Sask Valley MLA Randy Weekes was on hand back on November 18th, 2022.
