Inviting the Lieutenant Governor to an Event

Each year, the Lieutenant Governor attends many special events, ceremonies and celebrations across British Columbia. If you would like to invite the Lieutenant Governor to an event, you can do so by writing a letter of invitation that includes:

• background information on the event or organization;
• the date and time of the event (and whether these are flexible);
• information on the venue, or if you would like the event to be held at Government House;
• the number of people expected to participate;
• the role you would like the Lieutenant Governor to play, (e.g., speech (maximum of five minutes), award presentation, etc.); and
• name and telephone number of a contact person.

The salutation is “Your Honour.”

The invitation should be addressed to:

His Honour, the Honourable Steven Point
Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia
Government House
1401 Rockland Avenue
Victoria, B.C. V8S IV9

Keep in mind that the Lieutenant Governor’s calendar is planned two to three months in advance.

If you have any questions, please contact Heidi Elliott, Programmes Manager, at heidi.elliott@gov.bc.ca.
