Steven Point ends his posting as B.C.’s 28th lieutenant-governor

On Nov. 1, after five years, Steven Point ended his posting as B.C.’s 28th lieutenant-governor. Point is a former Skowkale First Nations chief, provincial court judge and chief treaty commissioner. He was the first Aboriginal person appointed to represent the Queen in the province. “He brought dignity, humility and no small measure of humour to this prestigious appointment,” said Premier Christy Clark. Said Point “I feel like Dorothy at the end of the Wizard of Oz. I’m going to go home now, but not without having brought with me and [wife] Gwen a lot great memories and great moments here at the legislative assembly and throughout British Columbia.”
