The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal was created in Saskatchewan, along with several other provinces, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the late Queen's Ascension to the Throne.

Recipients were nominated, and had to meet three criteria:

  • They are a resident of Saskatchewan or have a link to Saskatchewan (at the time of the grant of the medal);
  • They have made a contribution to Canada, Saskatchewan, or to a particular region or community; and
  • They were alive on February 6, 2022, the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty’s Accession to the Throne.
