Crown in Saskatoon
Saskatoon is the most populous city in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Canada is a constitutional monarchy, and connections to the Crown in Saskatoon are visible in visits from the Sovereign, the Royal Family and vice-regal representatives, and also in the prominence of names and symbols in civic traditions. The Crown's image appears in the centrepiece portrait at Saskatoon City Council chamber and also in the badges of Saskatoon Police Service officers. On one of several visits to Saskatoon, the Queen said "Constitutional Monarchy has always placed the emphasis on people in community – as it were, a national family with the Sovereign as its head."〔(Monarchist League of Canada (2007). An Archive of Quotations from The Queen and prominent Canadians about The Crown and Canada. )〕 Saskatoon's manifold connections include more than a dozen royal visits, frequent vice-regal visitors, namesakes for schools, streets and neighbourhoods, and the regular inclusion of its own namesake, the saskatoon berry, on menus for royal and vice-regal functions.〔(CBC News Online (2005). Royal Visit Diary. In Indepth: The Royal Family. 18 May 2005. )〕〔(Office of the Secretary to the Governor General of Canada (2003). Rideau Hall Chef to Showcase Culinary Cutting Edge at Expo Québec. )〕 Canada's definitive postage stamp features a photograph of the Queen taken in Saskatoon.〔(Canada Post Corporation (2008). New 2008 definitive stamps light the way for the New Year. )〕
(詳細はGovernment of Saskatchewan maintains that their presence "vividly reminds Canadians of their heritage and political culture as a parliamentary democracy under the Crown ... and it assists the Canadian Crown in its key role of symbolizing and uniting our citizens above the beyond ethnic backgrounds and partisan politics."〔(Government of Saskatchewan (2008). Royal Visits. In Saskatchewan Office of Protocol and Honours. )〕 Though the monarch and her family reside overseas, they have carried out regular ceremonial duties for centuries in Canada on the occasion of important milestones and celebrations. State responsibilities bring them for government-sponsored official visits, while their patronage of organisations brings them for unofficial ones. Invitations and expenses for these visits are usually borne by the organisations. Governors General and Lieutenant Governors, the vice-regal representatives of the monarch, are able to come into more frequent contact with citizens. Saskatoon has been host to more than a dozen royal visits, and home to several vice-regals.
