REGINA - A former Estevan resident is among those to receive the Premier's Award for Excellence in the Public Service for 2022.

Tate Wrubleski is being recognized as an emerging leader for his work in the Ministry of Agriculture. Wrubleski is a multimedia communications specialist within the ministry’s communications branch.

“Whether working with producers and agribusinesses, or internally with government clients, he establishes a level of trust and follows through on his commitments while ensuring high-quality work,” states his bio. “He consistently brings new ideas forward and clearly lays out the rationale, explaining the strategic purpose and detailed explanation of additional costs to support decision making.”

The bio goes on to say Wrubleski never hesitates to help the team. He regularly provides training sessions on video or photography and is eager to share his knowledge freely.

“He adds to the entire ministry as he helps staff deliver more engaging meetings and presentations. Tate is also a cultural champion as an active member and co-chair of the employee youth committee,” the bio says.

Wrubleski is the only one recognized in the emerging leader category.

Two individuals and five teams from the public service will also receive a Premier's Award.

"The work of public servants touches all aspects of our daily lives. I am honoured to celebrate these very deserving individuals and teams," said Premier Scott Moe. "The recipients of this award have gone above and beyond their everyday work to better the lives of Saskatchewan residents."

Also recognized this year are:

Amanda Gagnon, Ministry of Justice;

Doug Johnson, Water Security Agency;

Cowessess Co-ordination Agreement Provincial Team, Ministry of Social Services;

Rapid Test Kit Distribution Team, Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency;

MySaskHealthRecord and Vaccine Verification Team, eHealth;

Granular Pavement Airport Runways Project Team, Ministry of Highways; and

The Premier's Award for Excellence in the Public Service has been recognizing exceptional work for 19 years. Honourable mentions are provided to third parties and/or private sector partners who have assisted team recipients in their projects.

The recipients will receive their award at an event on Dec. 6 in Regina.
