Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan

Lieutenant Governor Of Saskatchewan

The Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan ( /lɛfˈtɛnənt/) is the viceregal representative in Saskatchewan of the Canadian monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, who operates distinctly within the province but is also shared equally with the ten other jurisdictions of Canada, as well as the other Commonwealth realms and any subdivisions thereof, and resides predominantly in her oldest realm, the United Kingdom. The Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan is appointed in the same manner as the other provincial viceroys in Canada and is similarly tasked with carrying out most of the monarch's constitutional and ceremonial duties. The present, and 21st, Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan is Vaughn Solomon Schofield, who has served in the role since 22 March 2012.
