Creation of the Province of Saskatchewan - Création de la Province de Saskatchewan
The province of Saskatchewan, formerly of the North West Territories, was created on 1 September, 1905, and inaugurated on this site by Governor General Earl Grey and Prime Minister Sir Wilfred Laurier on 4 September, 1905. Provincial status was the culmination of a struggle for self-government in the territories, led by FWG Haultain. The first Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan was Amédée-Emmanuel Forget and the first Premier was Walter Scott.
