It is traditional for Canada’s vice-regal representatives to meet with the monarch near the start of their terms. McIntyre was sworn in as lieutenant governor on January 31.
During the meeting, McIntyre presented the king with several gifts, including a jar of savoury dill pickle mustard from Gravelbourg Mustard, lentil and chickpea snacks from Saskatoon’s Three Farmers company, and two scarfs – a green one for King Charles and a blue scarf for Queen Camilla – which were designed and knit by Gravelbourg’s Mariette Anderson and produced at the Canadian Fibre Mill near Caron.
King Charles launched the Campaign for Wool in 2010, which is how the lieutenant governor’s office first learned about the fibre mill.
