The Saskatchewan Order of Merit[a] is a civilian honour for merit in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Instituted in 1985 by Lieutenant Governor Frederick Johnson,[2] on the advice of the Cabinet under Premier Grant Devine, the order is administered by the Governor-in-Council and is intended to honour current or former Saskatchewan residents for conspicuous achievements in any field,[3] being thus described in law as the highest honour amongst all others conferred by the Saskatchewan Crown.[4]
