  • July 4, 2006 Newly Completed Lois Hole Memorial Garden Ready For
    July 4, 2006 Newly completed Lois Hole Memorial Garden ready for visitors Edmonton...Albertans can now pay tribute to the late Lois Hole by visiting a new garden created in her memory on the grounds of the Alberta Legislature. The Lois Hole Memorial Garden was dedicated during a ceremony July 4 by the Honourable Norman L. Kwong, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta; Premier Ralph Klein and members of the Hole family. "Mrs. Hole was a dedicated public servant and a real champion of Alberta and Canada," said Lieutenant Governor Kwong. "I am pleased the government has chosen to recognize her contributions to the province through the creation of this beautiful, permanent garden." Government announced its intention to create the garden in the 2005 Throne Speech as a tribute to Mrs. Hole, the late Lieutenant Governor who passed away in January 2005 while still in office. In addition to serving as Lieutenant Governor, Mrs. Hole was a successful businesswoman, author, university chancellor and champion of many community projects. "We wanted to create a place that honours Lois Hole's memory and pays tribute to her passion for horticulture," said Premier Ralph Klein. "This garden adds to the beauty of the Legislature grounds and creates a wonderful haven to reflect on the life and accomplishments of a great Albertan." The Lois Hole Memorial Garden is located in the northeast corner of the Legislature's south grounds. The terraced garden features a bronze plaque with an inscription and a raised likeness of Mrs. Hole. The plaque is mounted on a boulder and set in a round seating plaza.
