Today Premier Brad Wall placed the 2012 time capsule into the cornerstone at the Legislative Building in the same location where the 1909 time capsule was removed late last year.
"Not only does the time capsule help commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Legislative Building, it will provide future generations with a representation of our province in 2012," Wall said. "Future generations will get a glimpse into our growing province and see how we worked together to make Saskatchewan stronger."
Members of the public were asked for suggestions for the time capsule's contents. Approximately three quarters of the final list of chosen items was comprised of these suggestions. The remaining items were chosen by an advisory committee based on a list of categories and set criteria with recommendations from other ministries in specific subject areas.
"This project captivated the people of Saskatchewan," Minister responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Kevin Doherty said. "We received hundreds of suggestions from citizens across the province on what to include in the new capsule. This is a magnificent collection of items that truly reflects what makes Saskatchewan unique and will show future generations the rich diversity of our province."
Each of the time capsule items was processed by a conservator before being placed inside the time capsule. The bottom of the capsule was then sealed using tungsten inert gas welding. Argon was then pumped into the time capsule through a valve to remove any air or moisture to prepare it to be tucked away for the next century.
The 2012 time capsule was a part of the province's year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Legislative Building. For more information about the time capsule or any of the other centennial initiatives, please visit www.opcc.gov.sk.ca/leg100.
