LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR’S 2011 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

As I near the end of my time as Lieutenant Governor, I have been reflecting on the remarkable experience of serving as Her Majesty's representative in Saskatchewan.

I have been fortunate to visit every region of our beautiful province, from the majestic Nistowiak Falls and the expansive Athabasca Sand Dunes in the north, to the wide open prairies and vast grasslands of the south.

It has been very easy to serve as Lieutenant Governor in a province where the people are so welcoming and supportive. I have enjoyed spending time with senior citizens - War Brides and Veterans, and retirees - who are such active volunteers.

I have been deeply impressed by the youth I have met. There are so many young people who are pursuing educational goals and making community service a priority.

My time as Lieutenant Governor has made me even more grateful to call Saskatchewan home, and even more optimistic about our future.

My wife Naomi and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
