Exhibit Celebrating Canadian Flag Anniversary Opens at Government House

Released on February 13, 2015

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag.  In recognition of that anniversary, Government House staff designed and built an interactive exhibit that pays tribute to the iconic national symbol.

Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz officially opened the new feature exhibit at Government House in Regina this afternoon.

“I am pleased that Government House and the Lieutenant Governor’s Office are celebrating our national flag in this way,” Krawetz said.  “This anniversary deserves to be recognized and historic Government House is the perfect setting for this innovative, educational display.”

The exhibit, known as “Celebrate the Flag!”, outlines the history of the Canadian flag and features an interactive touch table where guests can create their own digital flag.  A craft area for visitors who would like to physically create a flag design and hang it on the wall is also part of the exhibit.

There is also a video booth that allows guests to share their own Canadian stories.  Video stories may be featured in an upcoming exhibit celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017.

“The national flag helps unite our great country,” Minister responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Mark Docherty said.  “It’s a widely recognized symbol of Canada and although our nation’s population and geography are diverse, we all enjoy the vibrant quality of life that Saskatchewan and Canada offer.  We are fortunate to live in a free, inclusive and peaceful democracy.”

“Celebrate the Flag!” will be on display until September 2015.

Government House, a Provincial Heritage Property and National Historic Site, was built in 1891 and once served as the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of the Northwest Territories.  Although it’s no longer a home, Government House still serves as the Lieutenant Governor’s office.  It is also a popular tourism attraction offering programs and tours to guests year round.
