Opening of the Fourth Session of the Twenty-Seventh Legislature

Released on October 16, 2014

Public Invited to October 22 Outdoor Ceremony

Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield will formally open the Fourth Session of the 27th Legislature on October 22 with the Speech from the Throne in the Assembly Chamber of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building following an outdoor ceremony.

“The opening of our Legislative Assembly involves a number of traditions that remind us of the historic roots of our parliamentary democracy,” Solomon Schofield said.  “I'm grateful that the Government of Saskatchewan continues these traditions, because they are indicative of the value we place on our democratic institutions.  I encourage members of the public to join us outside the Legislative Building to take part in the ceremony of this important day.”

The public is invited to observe the outdoor ceremony which begins at 1:25 p.m. in front of the Legislative Building, 2405 Legislative Drive.  The ceremony includes the arrival of the Lieutenant Governor, Vice-Regal Salute, a 15 Gun Salute from 38 Canadian Brigade Group, an inspection of a Canadian Forces Guard of Honour comprised of regular and reserve force members from Saskatchewan, along with a flypast from 15 Wing Moose Jaw. 

The formal opening of the Legislative Assembly has taken place at the onset of each session since 1906 when representatives of the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary first gathered to hear Lieutenant Governor Amédee Forget.
