PROVINCE RECOGNIZES QUEEN'S GOLDEN JUBILEE
Released on May 14, 2002
The Saskatchewan Legislature gave special recognition to the Golden Jubilee
of Queen Elizabeth II today.
Lieutenant Governor Lynda Haverstock proclaimed May 14th to 20th as the
Queen's Golden Jubilee week in Saskatchewan. The Lieutenant Governor,
Premier Lorne Calvert, and Speaker Myron Kowalsky spoke at the ceremony.
Provincial Secretary Joanne Crofford also launched an educational booklet
on provincial symbols - "Images of a Province: Symbols of Saskatchewan" -
in tribute to the Queen. The booklet is an easy to read story of how the
emblems and official symbols of Saskatchewan came to be, what they are and
what they mean.
"Our symbols are rich reflections of our history and our heritage,"
Crofford said. "They offer a unique perspective on our history and a
glimpse of what will be important to future generations. The booklet, in
both official languages, was cost-shared with the Department of Canadian
Heritage. It is fitting to introduce this booklet during Golden Jubilee
Week."
The booklet is being distributed to every school and library in the
province.
Following the event, Premier Calvert and Opposition Leader Elwin Hermanson
will move a resolution in the Legislature honouring the Queen.
