In his annual Christmas message Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty noted during this most wonderful time of the year we focus on reaching out to family, friends and neighbors and caring for those in need….

“I extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who gives of their time and talents to enrich our communities. In Saskatchewan, we are rich when it comes to kind-hearted volunteers .I also want to thank everyone serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, police and fire services, first responders, health care professionals, educators and front-line workers for going beyond the call of duty. In addition, I am deeply grateful for the guidance I received from elders, knowledge keepers, survivors and their families in the creation of the Saskatchewan Residential School Memorial. On June 21, National Indigenous Peoples Day, the memorial was dedicated on the grounds of Government House in Regina. We hope that it will be a reflective place where everyone can come to learn and heal. “

Mirasty extended Christmas greetings on behalf of His Majesty King Charles the Third as well as his family and staff.
