Symbols of the Lieutenant Governor
Crest of the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan
The Crest of the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan symbolizes the Lieutenant Governor’s status as the direct representative of the Sovereign in the province.
The Crest is featured on flags, pins and other official symbols and memorabilia, and as part of the official logo of the Lieutenant Governor.
Following a standard design used for most Canadian provinces, the Crest displays the Shield of Arms of the province which is encircled by ten gold maple leaves (representing the ten provinces) and surmounted by a crown. The new Canadian Royal Crown, with its maple leaf pattern, replaced the previously depicted St. Edward’s Crown in 2026.
King Edward VII granted the Shield of Arms as Saskatchewan's first emblem on August 25, 1906 by a royal warrant. The shield displays a red lion (a traditional royal symbol) on a gold band across the upper third of the shield. The three gold wheat sheaves on a green background symbolize Saskatchewan's agriculture and resources.
The Crest of the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan can only be used with permission from the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. The Crest design was last updated in February of 2026. For more information, or if you would like a copy of the Crest provided in different design file formats, please contact donna.boyle@gov.sk.ca.
Viceregal Standard
The Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan has a personal flag, called the Viceregal Standard, which is flown on the official motor vehicle.
The Viceregal Standard consists of a rectangular blue background with the Crest/Emblem of the Lieutenant Governor displayed in the middle.
The Standard may also be flown on a building where the Lieutenant Governor is present. It is never used within a building.
The Standard was inaugurated on September 4th, 1980. It was most recently updated in March 2026 with the new Lieutenant Governor’s Crest which incorporates the Canadian Royal Crown.

Lieutenant Governor Badge of Recognition
In January 1999, Queen Elizabeth the Second approved the creation of a special badge to recognize persons holding viceregal office and their spouses.
The badge rests on a frame depicting the pointed ends of four stylized maple leaves in red and white enamel, representing the many faceted responsibilities and duties of viceregal office. The more naturalistic maple leaf in the centre represents the personal commitment required of incumbents and their spouses. The Crown surmounts the design, recalling service to the Canadian people and the Crown. The badge measures approximately four centimetres and is struck in sterling silver and is gilded in gold. In 2026 the badge was updated when the St. Edward’s Crown was replaced by the Canadian Royal Crown featuring maple leaves.
A similar badge is presented to the spouses of Lieutenant Governors with the central maple leaf in silver rather than gold. Following retirement from office, individuals may continue to wear the badge.
There is also a small lapel pin with the same insignia.
