Lt. Gov. Russ Mirasty issued a statement on the death of the Queen.
He said that Elizabeth exemplified integrity, humility, inner strength and outward grace.
Mirasty said she was committed to reconciliation and acknowledged the painful history that indigenous peoples endured in residential schools in Canada, as well as the work that remains to heal and to continue to build an inclusive society.
“Her Majesty was very fond of Canada and Canadians and thought of our country as her home away from home,” said Mirasty in the statement.
Mirasty said that while we mourn her loss, we can also give thanks for her extraordinary contributions to Canada and the world.
According to the province, books of condolences will be available to be signed by the public during regular business hours at the Legislative Building and Government House in Regina.
