Premier Lorne Calvert has announced the Province of Saskatchewan will hold
memorial services for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
Those services will be held in Prince Albert April 10th, Saskatoon on April
12th, and Regina on April 13th.
"The loss of the Queen Mother is deeply felt by the people of Saskatchewan,
not only by those who met Her Majesty in 1939 and 1985, but by everyone who
sensed the warmth and devotion to duty and family for which the Queen
Mother was so well known and loved," Calvert said. "These memorial events
will provide us with an opportunity as a community to remember the Queen
Mother and give thanks for her outstanding life of service to Canada and
the Commonwealth."
The services will take place as follows:
Prince Albert, Wednesday, April 10th, 7:30 p.m., St. Alban's
Cathedral, Bishop McLean Crescent. The Speaker of the Legislative
Assembly will give the address;
Saskatoon, Friday, April 12th, 7:30 p.m., St. John's Cathedral, 816
