News Release: Congratulations, Ron & Honya Olson, recipients of the Saskatoon-Grasswood Canada 150 Award


Ron and Honya Olson are long-time residents of Saskatoon who have contributed to our community in many ways. Supporting families is front and center for Ron and Honya. During her years as a school administrator, Honya recognized a tremendous need to support children who were going to school hungry. Ron and Honya approached the Home Builders Association and created the “Hungry Children’s Fund” that was used to provide meals for inner-city school children. Over the years, Ron and Honya have supported Ronald McDonald House, the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, Royal University Hospital, the Annual Jail and Bail event in support of cancer research, and most recently, the Children’s Hospital, and the Remai Modern Art Gallery. Ron and Honya’s generosity and compassion have touched the lives of many in Saskatoon. Thank you Ron and Honya, for your outstanding contributions to our community.
