New Year’s Day Levée

Each January 1st, the Lieutenant Governor opens the doors to Government House for the annual New Year’s Day Levée. Her Honour greets the public and visitors have an opportunity to enjoy light refreshments and music such as the Canadian Scottish Regiment Pipes and Drums. The New Year’s Day Levée has been a tradition among Vice Regal houses since British Columbia entered Confederation in 1871.

The 2020 Levée takes place on Wednesday, January 1, 2020, from 10 am to 12 pm.  Presiding will be the Honourable Janet Taylor.
