"Sharon and I are pleased to visit the province of Saskatchewan, known for its rich First Nations and Metis cultural heritages, and as a land where many immigrants found refuge to build a new life of hope and prosperity," said His Excellency. "Our official duties and travels within the province will allow us to engage with First Nations peoples and Hutterian Brethren of Lajord; to honour outstanding Saskatchewanians for their volunteer work; and to join the Francophone community in their celebrations of the centennial of the Association communautaire fransaskoise in Gravelbourg."
Their Excellencies will kick off their visit in Gravelbourg, where they will attend celebrations marking the 100th Anniversary of the Association communautaire fransaskoise in Gravelbourg. They will also meet with the Lieutenant Governor and the Premier of the province in the capital City of Regina, and with Hutterites during a visit to the Lajord Colony.
Their Excellencies will travel to Saskatoon to recognize the exceptional work conducted by hundreds of volunteers at the Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Appreciation Event, and to engage with members from the Saskatoon Community Foundation. Their official visit to the province will conclude with a tour of the Wanuskewin Heritage Park and with a discussion with chiefs and Elders.
