With her natural grace and dynamic personality, Lynda Haverstock has connected with and inspired the people of Saskatchewan for decades. As lieutenant-governor, she was renowned for her patronage of the arts and her strong support for First Nations, veterans rights, education and literacy. In addition to being the first woman to lead a political party in her province, she has made equally important contributions as a psychologist. Through her pioneering studies on farm families in crisis, she developed programs to help farmers deal with the devastation of losing intergenerational farms and their way of life. Now president and CEO of Tourism Saskatchewan, she continues to be an enthusiastic ambassador for her province.
