Star Blanket presented to school board member

Roy Challis,with the Living Sky School Division board, was presented with the 2011 Saskatchewan School Boards Association Award of Distinction. He was also presented with a Star Blanket in recognition of his commitment to improving outcomes for First Nations and Métis students in Saskatchewan. “Roy’s time as president saw a major change in direction as the association worked towards putting direction, ownership and authority back into the hands of the membership,” said SSBA president Sandi Urban-Hall. “In addition to engaging the membership, Roy was also a leading force in supporting and advocating for First Nations and Métis education. His contributions at home have been equally impressive.”
