As the Queen’s representative in Manitoba, it is my great honour and privilege to join with my fellow Manitobans in celebrating and congratulating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, on a remarkable 70 years of service.
It was on this day in 1952 that Her Majesty ascended the throne, making her the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.
For seven decades, Her Majesty has served the people of Canada and the Commonwealth with an unwavering discipline of dedication, integrity, kindness and compassion. Her devoted leadership has earned great respect and admiration from citizens around the world.
Manitoba has always enjoyed a very special relationship with Her Majesty and The Royal Family. As lieutenant-governor of this beautiful province, it is my hope that all Manitobans will embrace this once-in-a-lifetime occasion and join in local, provincial and national celebrations throughout the year.
In recognition of this momentous occasion, I offer Her Majesty our very best wishes that she be blessed with continued health and optimism.
God Save The Queen.
