2015 Christmas Message from Vaughn Solomon Schofield, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan

Monday, December 14, 2015

In 1914, the world was at war. Trench warfare created very difficult circumstances, particularly in the cold of winter. But on that Christmas Eve, something remarkable happened. A Christmas truce was called, and the soldiers on both sides laid down their weapons. They ventured out of their trenches and even exchanged modest gifts. That night, when the British soldiers began to sing O Come All Ye Faithful, the Germans joined in, singing the same hymn to the Latin words Adeste Fideles.

For me, this is the true message of Christmas. No matter what our circumstances, there is reason for hope and for gratitude. This Christmas, I am grateful for the Canadian men and women in uniform. I wish to thank the Canadian Armed Forces, our police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, for the sacrifices they make to serve.

I am fortunate to take part in hundreds of events each year across Saskatchewan. This is a constant reminder to me of our greatest strength – our innovative, compassionate, and generous people. I am grateful to everyone who gives their time to provide leadership to local organizations, and to support community events and initiatives. Truly, you are what makes our province and our nation great.

As you celebrate this special season with your family and friends, I wish you good health and much happiness throughout the coming year. Merry Christmas, everyone.
