Kilgour Reflects on the Life and Passing of Lois Hole

January 11, 2005

Hon. David Kilgour, Member of Parliament for Edmonton – Mill Woods – Beaumont, issued the following statement on the passing of Lieutenant Governor Lois Hole:

Known as the ‘Queen of Hugs,’ Lois Hole was always able to ensure that the official office of Lieutenant Governor remained close to the hearts of Albertans.  The tributes that have poured in during the last few days from across the province are a sign of how loved and respected she was.  Her grace and simplicity complemented her intelligence and wisdom.

“If I can help people to understand the enormous educational resource each citizen represents, if I can help the parents of today realize the dream of a better life for the children of tomorrow, I feel I will have done my job as Lieutenant Governor.”  These words reflect the achievements Lois Hole herself wished to accomplish during her tenure as our province’s Lieutenant Governor.  This is now her legacy to Albertans and Canadians.  We will all miss her deeply.
