Volunteer Medal Recipients

Megan Patterson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you, I would like to introduce a very special group of individuals from Moose Jaw and welcome them to this their Legislative Assembly. I would like to start by introducing Retired Lieutenant Colonel Lyle Johnson and Wayne Cameron, who both received the Volunteer Medal this morning for their tireless service to our community.

I would also like to introduce Fran Cameron, Wayne’s wife; Joyce and Ron Walter; and Phil Adkins, who are members of the Friends of the Forces Fellowship.

Wayne Cameron is a devoted volunteer whose passion for service and leadership has made a significant impact in our city. As a board member of RuBarb Productions, he has been instrumental in promoting local theatre in Moose Jaw. Beyond the arts, Wayne’s extensive volunteer work including serving as a president of Toastmasters judging speaking competitions and leading a student backpack program in Costa Rica. His service has been ongoing. He has previously received other accolades such as the Wakamow volunteer club Service Above Self Award and the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal.

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Lyle Johnson is a distinguished educator and community leader whose contributions span decades. A retired high school teacher from Moose Jaw, Lyle enriched the lives of countless students by producing and directing over 60 theatrical productions. In 1985 he founded Moose Jaw Crime Stoppers and is still involved today.

Lyle has been a dedicated Army Cadet League volunteer since 1972 and is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Canadian Armed Forces with 45 years experience. He keeps us all informed through his volunteer work producing Moose Jaw This Week. His service has been acknowledged with other honours, including the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal.

Please join me in congratulating retired Lieutenant Colonel Lyle Johnson and Wayne Cameron on being selected as medal recipients, and welcome all of our friends from Moose Jaw to this their Legislative Assembly.
