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.
