Correctional Services Employees

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Well thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you, seated in your gallery, it is my pleasure to introduce several correctional services employees from across Saskatchewan largely filling your gallery up there, Mr. Speaker.

Today is Correctional Services Appreciation Day in Saskatchewan. Every year we commemorate this day to acknowledge the efforts of Saskatchewan correctional services employees and thank them for their contributions and dedication to building safer communities across our province. Working in corrections can be a challenging career, Mr. Speaker, but these employees fulfill their duties with vigilance and compassion and demonstrate an unwavering commitment to excellence in all that they do.

To help celebrate this day, Mr. Speaker, I had the honour of meeting several of these employees this morning for lunch, and presenting the Minister’s Award for Excellence to the team at Paul Dojack Youth Centre for their work on researching and implementing the EQ2 training and support program for direct care staff working with at-risk youth. This award is presented annually to recognize employees and teams for innovation and excellence in corrections.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members to join me in thanking all of the correctional services staff for everything that they do to help keep our communities safe. And I ask the members to join me in welcoming these members of the correctional services community to this, their Legislative Assembly.
