Donors like you can help the Government House Foundation support the Lieutenant Governor’s programs, which include honours such as the British Columbia Reconciliation Award, the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence and others.
In addition to the Lieutenant Governor’s programs, the Foundation helps to maintain the beautiful gardens of Government House, which are tended by scores of dedicated volunteers. In recent years, the Foundation rehabilitated the Cary Castle Mews, turning these historic buildings into Rudi’s Tea Room, which is enjoyed by both local and global guests. The stained glass windows in Government House, along with many other enhancements made over the years, are also thanks to the Foundation’s efforts.
