Lieutenant Governor to launch 150 Stories book, exhibition

February 21, 2017. Her Honour the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario,
will launch 150 Stories, a book and exhibition, during a reception on Wednesday, February 22, in the
Lieutenant Governors Suite at Queens Park.

150 Stories is a collection of new stories and images that speak eloquently about what it means to be
Canadian in Ontario. Compiled to mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation, 150 Stories invites
readers and viewers to contemplate the many perspectives and voices that make Ontario Ontario.

In reflecting on the role of stories and storytelling, the Lieutenant Governor said, As the self-appointed
Storyteller-in-Chief of Ontario, I am eager to share with Ontarians this remarkable storybook that is so
indicative of our spirit as a people. Listening to each other is a first step in creating the communities and
country of which we can be proud. Let thoughtful and peaceful engagement be our gift to the future and
our legacy to the world at large.

Following the launch of 150 Stories, members of the public may view the exhibition in person and on
selected days during tours of the Legislative Assembly at Queens Park. Tour information, as well as an
