HISTORIC NAMES FOR GOVERNMENT HOUSE FACILITIES

Important figures in Saskatchewan's history are being honoured by having facilities at Government House Heritage Property named after them.

Several rooms and facilities at Government House will now bear the name of former Lieutenant Governors of Saskatchewan, the current Lieutenant Governor, Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria.

"Naming the rooms after current and historic figures in Saskatchewan is an appropriate tribute to those who have been a significant part of the province's first 100 years," Provincial Secretary Joan Beatty said. "These individuals have all helped create a province with heart, strength and a bright future that will lead us into the next century."

Plaques indicating the new names will be erected at Government House. The names of major donors will also be commemorated with plaques.

Government House Heritage Property combines a museum, hospitality facility and the offices of the Lieutenant Governor in one of Saskatchewan's premiere historic sites.
