Christmas Message from the Lieutenant Governor

Released on December 9, 2014

As we celebrate this special season, it’s my pleasure to extend greetings to you on behalf of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada.

What does Christmas mean to you?  For those of us who are Christians, it’s a holy time, when we celebrate the birth of Christ.  For many of us, Christmas is about spending time with family and friends.  It’s also a season of sharing, when we give and receive presents.  A gift that we enjoy all year round is our amazing good fortune to live in Canada.

Have you ever noticed, when tragedy strikes, Canadians rally together, and actually become closer?  This year, our citizens faced challenging circumstances with empathy and renewed determination to maintain the rights and freedoms we hold dear.

I’d like to thank our men and women in uniform, including our military, police, firefighters, and paramedics. We are deeply grateful to you for the sacrifices you make to serve our nation.

I’d also like to thank our generous and capable volunteers.  You are what makes Saskatchewan great!

It was Hamilton Wright Mabie who wrote, “Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.”  I wish you and your loved ones happiness, and good health, today and throughout the coming year.  Merry Christmas!
