The Lieutenant-Governor has received official word confirming the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada.
On behalf of all Nova Scotians, the Lieutenant-Governor extends his deepest condolences to His Majesty The King and all members of the Royal Family.
Queen Elizabeth II's extraordinary reign has been characterized by a sense of duty and devotion to a life of service. Public and voluntary work were top priorities, and she served as a Royal Patron or President to more than 600 charities.
"Her Majesty's reign embodies the importance of commitment to one's community and country," said Lt-Gov Arthur J. LeBlanc. "To honour her legacy, the province recommits itself to service. Through compassion, perseverance and dedication to our relationships and chosen work, we continue to build a province where all can live with dignity and peace."
Beginning Friday, September 9, and for the following nine days, a book of condolences will be available to the public at Government House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will also be a designated area at the flagpole for flowers.
Information about the provincial memorial service and accession proclamation ceremony will be released soon.
