Events Description
Lieutenant Governor Salma Lakhani will host the New Year’s Day Levee at historic Government House in Edmonton on Monday, January 1, 2024.
Guests will be able to take in the beautiful art and displays throughout Government House, meet and have a photo taken with the Lieutenant Governor, and enjoy live music and festive treats. Their Honours will be joined in the receiving line by members of the Vice-Regal Escort.
The levee is a tradition in Canada dating back to the 1600s. It’s based on an older tradition in Europe that saw loyal subjects visit the monarch to pay their respects and pledge allegiance. Today, the Levee at Government House is a chance for Albertans of all ages to meet the King’s representative in a relaxed social setting.
