It is designed to recognize more than grades; it rewards students who have dug deep and applied themselves to improving their academic performance while demonstrating determination, initiative and leadership qualities. /2

The ASBA Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Student Award ceremony is one of the most meaningful events of the year for me—and not merely because it bears the name of my office. /1

On Friday, I joined the presidents of Alberta’s many comprehensive community colleges at Bow Valley College to discuss the challenges and opportunities currently facing post-secondary institutions. I was glad to hear that Canada continues to lead the way as we enter this new era.

Indonesia is a large and fascinating country, as well as an increasingly important trading partner with Alberta and Canada. I welcomed the Indonesian Ambassador, His Excellency Muhsin Syihab, to my office yesterday for a warm and very informative visit.

On Mother’s Day, I am reminded of Elizabeth Stone’s description of being a mother: “It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” I extend my deepest appreciation and respect to all mothers and nurturing figures for everything that you do.

It is always so special to honour and celebrate inspiring women and role models in whose footsteps many others will be empowered to follow. Congratulations to each and every Woman of Distinction and thank you to the YWCA and sponsors for making this wonderful event possible.

I was honoured to attend yesterday’s ceremony at NorQuest College marking Red Dress Day. I was particularly moved by guest speaker Prairie Adaoui-Dustyhorn and her call for strength and healing in the face of violence. We must all stand united in honouring the memory of MMIWG2S+.

On this day in 2023, 2 billion people around the world watched as Charles III donned St. Edward’s Crown and was coronated as the new King of the United Kingdom and the 14 other realms of the Commonwealth. Long may he continue to reign!

When Canadian forces liberated the Netherlands from Nazi occupation on May 5, 1945, a bond was formed between our countries that lasts to this day. Dutch Heritage Day is an opportunity to celebrate that friendship and honour the wartime sacrifices of over 7600 Canadian soldiers.

More than 60% of Indigenous women experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. Red Dress Day is a reminder of this shocking fact, and a call to honour their lives and continue the fight for justice. #MMIWG2S

Even 10 years later, the area surrounding Fort McMurray bears marks from the forest fire that devastated their community. But the community spirit that emerged in the face of disaster and is still helping the town rise from the ashes and rebuild is obvious as well.

I recently learned about Bereaved Mothers’ Day, which was created in 2010 to acknowledge women who have lost children. As Mother’s Day approaches, I honour the grief of mothers who live with unimaginable loss every single day.

Yesterday, May 3, marked World Press Freedom Day as declared by the United Nations. News outlets have a responsibility to report the truth, but governments have an even greater responsibility to protect the fundamental right to freedom of expression.

As we mark Asian Heritage Month, I thank Sue Mah and colleagues at the Mah Society, Edmonton, for the opportunity to tour the ‘Journey of the Horse’ exhibit. It was truly inspiring to learn of challenges surmounted and the resilience shown by early immigrants to Canada from China
