At the Saskatoon B’nai Brith Silverplate Dinner held Tuesday night in Saskatoon they named the We’re Proud of You Award recipient. This year it is Michael Tanton.

The award is given each year to a citizen in Saskatoon who has provided exceptional level of volunteer service to Saskatoon and who has not received due recognition.

Saskatoon B’nai Brith says Michael Tanton has undertaken remarkable volunteer work with youth, and especially with Indigenous youth. He has coached hundreds of young adults at the White Buffalo Youth Lodge. He continues to lead “One Love Basketball”, a program that provides a healthy program of basketball and character development.

He is also involved at the board level with the Central Urban Metis Federation and Basketball Saskatchewan.

There were 750 attendees at the 68th Gala dinner.
