2024 Celebrating Seniors

SSM honoured the 2024 Celebrating Seniors Volunteer Awards nominees and award recipients during our annual awards banquet at the Conexus Arts Centre in Regina on September 29, 2024. The evening was a showcase of the many older adults whose contributions are invaluable as they give of themselves to better the quality of life for others. We thank all of these volunteers for the contributions they make to their respective communities across Saskatchewan.

Our guest speaker was Gursh Barnard, CEO of The Executive Studio. Gursh spoke passionately about the contributions of older adults and the importance of volunteers, quoting the poem “The Dash” which describes the way a person’s life is encapsulated in that tiny dash between their birth date and their death date. It’s up to us to fill that dash with meaningful activity.

Entertainment was provided by Chris Henderson, award-winning Saskatchewan country singer/songwriter, who charmed the audience with his personal style and got their toes tapping with his music.
