At 7:00 p.m., His Honour the Honourable John C. Crosbie, Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador and Her Honour Jane Furneaux Crosbie will host a Dinner at Government House on the occasion of the appointment of The Honourable Robert Wells, Q.C., as Honorary Inspector of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.
Welcome to the Web Site of the Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador. The position of Lieutenant Governor, a uniquely Canadian institution, was created in 1867 by the British North America Act, now known as The Constitution Act. My nine colleagues and I represent the Crown in our respective provinces, from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia. We also play an important role in the structure and operation of the governments of the individual provinces.
The Web Site provides information on my work as Lieutenant Governor. It also tells you of the history of Government House, which has been both home and office to every Governor of Newfoundland between 1828 and 1949, as well as to my ten predecessors as Lieutenant Governor, following Confederation in 1949.
I hope that you will find information on the Web Site useful and informative.
