Seven Prince Albert emergency workers are being honoured for their long careers.

They’re each receiving the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal which is given to individuals who’ve put in at least 25 years in their fields.

The medal includes the motto Qui civitatem tuentar which means ‘who guard the citizenry.’

Among the P.A. honourees are five people with the community’s police service: Chief Jonathan Bergen, Constable Cara Court, Staff Sergeant Lawrie George, Inspector Brent McDonald, and Sergeant Rhonda Meakin.

Two others are with the P.A. Fire Department: Fire Chief Kris Olsen and Inspector Bradley Antonson.
