SASKATCHEWAN MOURNS THE LOSS OF JACK LAYTON

Released on August 22, 2011

Saskatchewan people join with all Canadians in mourning the loss of national NDP Leader Jack Layton, who died today following a battle with cancer.

Premier Brad Wall offered condolences on behalf of the government and people of Saskatchewan.

"You couldn't help but admire Jack Layton's spirit," Wall said. "To find the physical and emotional strength to lead a successful national election campaign while fighting cancer - that will be remembered as one of the truly remarkable accomplishments in Canadian politics.

"And his spirit did not waver. Even at his final public appearance last month, he remained optimistic, hopeful and dedicated to public service."

"Tami and I want to express our deepest sympathy to Mr. Layton's wife Olivia Chow and all of their family and friends."

The flags at the Saskatchewan Legislature will fly at half staff until Layton's funeral and a condolence book will be set up in the rotunda of the Legislature for citizens to provide messages to Layton's family.
