Ahenakew receives Order of Merit

Raymond E. Ahenakew, a member of the Ahtahkakoop First Nation, was among eight recent recipients of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. “It’s a great privilege to honour such impressive individuals,” said Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield. “They are each visionaries and innovators, leaders and mentors, who have made enormous contributions to our province and our nation.” The Saskatchewan Order of Merit is the province’s highest honour, recognizing individuals who have contributed significantly to the well-being of the province and its residents. Including the eight new members, there have been 193 appointments to the Order of Merit since its inception in 1985.
