Please See All Photos Lois Hole Was A Beloved Figure In Alberta. As A Gardener She Was A Source Of Sought-After Advice On How To Nurture Plants. As A School Trustee And Chancellor Of The University Of Alberta She Willingly Took On Tough Challenges To Improve Education For All. As Lieutenant-Governor Of Alberta She Spoke Clearly In Favour Of Libraries And Education, And Fearlessly In Favour Of A View Of Community Life That Was Not Always Popular With Many Of The Province's Leading Politicians. This Book Collects Many Of The Speeches She Gave As Lieutenant-Governor. She Could Be Humorous, Curious, Caring, Or Pointed As Circumstances Required. These Speeches Represent More Than A Unique Woman Fully Engaged In Public Life. They Show A Person Who Strode Confidently Through Life, Meeting It Head-On With Compassion And Conviction. They Are The Record Of What She Wished For Albertans And How She Thought They Could Join Together To Make A Better Life For Their Children. This Record Of A Compelling Public Personality Constitutes A Legacy Of Hope.
