Message from the Governor General on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the St. James Literary Society

I am pleased to convey warm greetings to mark the
125th anniversary of the St. James Literary Society.
Formed in 1898, the St. James Literary Society is the oldest of its kind in North America. Over the years, its members and distinguished guest speakers have been contributing to the community, bringing people together through the free exchange of ideas and a common interest in intellectual improvement.

I commend the past and present members for their dedication in supporting the society’s mission of sharing knowledge, promoting openness and fostering camaraderie. Congratulations to everyone involved in achieving this significant milestone. I wish you the very best for the future.

Mary Simon
