 The Award for Excellence in Public Service was presented to Murray Knuttila of the Department of Sociology and the Saskatchewan Population Health and Evaluation Research Unit at Convocation on June 7, 2007.
Engaging with the world outside of the classroom has been a distinguishing component of Knuttila’s tenure at the University of Regina. He embodies the institution’s motto of “As One Who Serves” in capacities ranging from his service as Chair of the Regina-Qu’Appelle Health Region Board--a body that provides health service to approximately 250,000 people in the region and specialized care to nearly half a million residents in southern Saskatchewan--to activities including making beds and serving food as a volunteer for the Canada Summer Games. He has also received a Commemorative Medal for the Centenary of Saskatchewan, served as the Vice-Chair of the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, and has been called upon by government to share his expertise with regard to initiatives such as the federal strategic Human Resources Analysis of Public Policing in Canada and the provincial Personal Injury Protection Plan report. He was recently appointed a Member of the prestigious Canada Foundation for Innovation.
