A Message from the Lieutenant Governor
of British Columbia
Version française
This month we host our annual Music on the Lawn concert series. This year's concerts take place in the new bandshell located on the east lawn of Government House. On July 8th we welcome the Linden Singers and PACE Musical Theatre to play the first of three public concerts in the new facility. On July 15th the Politics of Dancing entertain us with an evening of popular music and our final concert of 2010 is on July 22nd with the Sutcliffes, a Beatles tribute band.
Government House is open from 4pm – 5pm on concert days and the public are welcome to tour the main floor. So bring a few lawn chairs and your family and friends and join us for an evening of entertainment.
As July comes to a close I head out with members of the Consular Corps to present the Lieutenant Governor's Awards of Excellence in British Columbia Wines. These awards recognize and honour excellence in wines produced within the province and made from 100% British Columbian grown grapes.
With the children out of school and summer officially here, there are countless activities and events to look forward to and in which to participate. I encourage everyone to put on their sunscreen and spend time outdoors in the coming months. Whether it's a day spent fishing or swimming at the lake, a stroll through the local farmers' market or taking in one of the many community celebrations across the province, let us all get outside, get active and take advantage of this beautiful time of year in British Columbia.
