Government House, Lieutenant Governor residence in Regina, Canada
Government House is the official residence of Saskatchewan's Lieutenant Governor and displays Richardsonian Romanesque features with stone walls and grand arches. Inside are Victorian furnishings, Edwardian Gardens with planted beds, and a conservatory filled with plants and trees.
Construction took place between 1892 and 1894 under architect Thomas Fuller, marking a period of growth in Saskatchewan. After opening, it served as the official residence until 1945, when its primary function began to shift.
The New Year's Day Levee brings together citizens and officials in an annual gathering that has shaped the city's social calendar. This tradition shows how the place serves as a center for official gatherings and formal ceremonies.
Visitors can join guided tours from Tuesday through Sunday to explore the interior rooms, gardens, and conservatory. Entry is free, making it accessible to walk through most areas of the property without any admission charges.
Inside is the J.E.N. Wiebe Interpretive Centre with exhibitions about Saskatchewan's governance. This collection of artifacts and interactive displays offers insights into how the province was administered over time.
