Book excerpt: Lois Hole was a beloved figure in Alberta. As a gardener she was a source of sought-after advice on how to nurture plants. As a school trustee and chancellor of the University of Alberta she willingly took on tough challenges to improve education for all. As lieutenant-governor of Alberta she spoke clearly in favour of libraries and education, and fearlessly in favour of a view of community life that was not always popular with many of the province's leading politicians. This book collects many of the speeches she gave as lieutenant-governor. She could be humorous, curious, caring, or pointed as circumstances required. These speeches represent more than a unique woman fully engaged in public life. They show a person who strode confidently through life, meeting it head-on with compassion and conviction. They are the record of what she wished for Albertans and how she thought they could join together to make a better life for their children. This record of a compelling public personality constitutes a legacy of hope.
