I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Honourable Vaughn Solomon Schofield, former lieutenant governor of Saskatchewan.
From 2012 to 2018, Mrs. Solomon Schofield served as Saskatchewan’s 21st lieutenant governor with grace and unwavering commitment to Canadians. Her notable support for our Canadian Armed Forces, and her dedication to public service and philanthropy made her a cherished leader in the viceregal community.
Mrs. Solomon Schofield was a recipient of many honours, including the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. Her legacy had a profound impact on our country and will inspire generations to come.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Solomon Schofield’s loved ones, and to all those whose lives she touched.
