She was the 15th Lieutenant Governor of Alberta from 10 February 2000 until her death. She was known as the "Queen of Hugs"[4] for breaking with protocol and hugging almost everyone she met, including journalists, diplomats and other politicians.[5] Early life and educationLois Elsa Veregin was born in Buchanan, Saskatchewan, to Michael M. Veregin and Elsa Viktoria Norsten in 1929, not 1933, as was later misreported.[6] Her family moved to Edmonton, Alberta in 1948, where she completed her education at Strathcona Composite High School.[5] FamilyIn 1950, she met Ted Hole, a young University of Alberta agriculture student. Several years later they married and moved to a {{convert|200|acre|km2|sing=on}} farm near St. Albert, Alberta. Lois and Ted Hole ran a successful market garden business from their farm which they, along with their sons Bill and Jim, incorporated as Hole's Greenhouses & Gardens Ltd. in 1979. [3] It remained one of Western Canada's largest retail greenhouse stores until it closed in early 2011 when the Hole family moved the operation to their new site on the edge of Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park, and opened the Enjoy Centre. {{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} WritingsIn 1993 Lois Hole wrote her first book, Vegetable Favourites, and went on to write five more in the "Favourites" series. There are currently more than 1,000,000 copies of the various books in this series in print. The series won the Educational Media Award from the Professional Plant Growers Association in 1996. In 1998, Hole's Greenhouse began publishing their own books starting with Hole's autobiographical I'll Never Marry a Farmer. She also wrote several books with her son, Jim. Hole's Greenhouse has continued to publish gardening books along with a successful annual magazine, Lois' Spring Gardening. Affiliations/AwardsShe was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada in 1999 and a Dame of Justice of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in 2000. In 1995, she was named Edmonton Business and Professional Woman of the Year and St. Albert's Citizen of the Year. In 2003 she was awarded the Gandhi, King, Ikeda Humanitarian Award. She was made an "Honorary Patricia" by the 1st Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. Ted and Lois Hole's deathsDuring his wife's term in office, Ted Hole died of cancer in April 2003. Lois Hole had been diagnosed with abdominal cancer[7] in 2002, making a public announcement the following year when she began treatment in early 2003. Her health improved, temporarily, but by late 2004, her case was terminal. Her illness prevented her from making several scheduled public appearances. She died in office at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton on 6 January 2005, aged 75. AgeMost sources cited 1933 as Lois Hole's year of birth based on her reported age at death. However, the Edmonton Journal,[8] the Royal Alberta United Services Institute's newsletter[4] and the Legislature of Alberta[3] all indicate that she was born in 1929. The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta confirmed that Hole was born on 30 January 1929.[9] LegacyThe Alberta Library Trustees Association (ALTA) established the Lois Hole Award in 2001. In November 2004, two months before Lois Hole's death, the Capital Health Authority in Edmonton announced that a new wing of the Royal Alexandra Hospital would be named the Lois Hole Hospital for Women. It opened 13 April 2010 and consolidated the women's health programs and services based at the Royal Alexandra Hospital into one building.{{cn|date=March 2018}} On 19 April 2005 the Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park was established, becoming the 69th provincial park in Alberta. The park contains the former Big Lake Natural Area and an additional 302 hectares of Crown land, for a total of 1421 hectares. The lake makes up around 59 per cent of the park's total area.{{cn|date=March 2018}} In 2008 the Edmonton Public Library opened the Lois Hole Library in Callingwood North. It features a sculpture of Lois Hole by Danek Mozdzenski and a reading garden. In 2009, the City of St. Albert declared 14 May to be Lois Hole Day. A bronze statue designed by Barbara Paterson called A Legacy of Love and Learning was unveiled at city hall on this day. Personal Education and Involvement in education

The two wild roses refer to Their Honours' two sons, and the book represents Her Honour's love of learning and long involvement with education. The shield surmounts the Badge of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, and is surrounded by the motto ribbon of the Order of Canada. Below the shield are show the Badges of (from left to right) Dame of Justice of the Order of St John, a member of the Order of Canada, and the Alberta Order of Excellence. The lion refers to Alberta and Saskatchewan, where it appears in the provincial coats of arms; to England, His Honour's ancestral homeland; and to the lion of the arms of the Scottish family of Buchanan, and being a reference to Her Honour's birthplace in Saskatchewan. The maple leaf coronet symbolizes her service to Canada and as the Queen's representative in Alberta, while the roses, repeating the reference to Her Honour's favourite flower, are shown in Canada's national colours. The book represents both Her Honour's long involvement with education as a school trustee and as Chancellor of the University of Alberta, and the importance she attaches to education. The wheat field represents both Saskatchewan and the central part played by this grain in the making of bread, a staple with a great symbolic significance to the Doukhoubors, and hence a strong reference to Her Honour's father. The green grass represents an important element of landscaping and gardening. The German Shepherds were chosen by Her Honour as they are a strong intelligent breed for which Her Honour indicated a preference. Their collars combine the official provincial flowers of Alberta and Saskatchewan.[10] }} References1. ^{{harvp|Perry|Powell|2006|p=662}} 2. ^{{harvp|Perry|Powell|2006|p=655}} 3. ^1 2 [https://www.assembly.ab.ca/lao/library/lt-gov/hole.htm Legislature of Alberta website] 4. ^1 RAUSI (Royal Alberta United Services Institute) 5. ^1 Obituary at the For Posterity's Sake website {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208060125/http://www.forposterityssake.ca/Obituary/CC/2005/CC12Jan2005.htm |date=8 February 2012 }} 6. ^{{harvp|Perry|Powell|2006|p=653}} 7. ^Edmonton Journal coverage of Lois Hole's cancer diagnosis {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140121055735/http://www.canada.com/edmonton/edmontonjournal/features/agreport2005/story.html?id=46240706-01c1-442d-ac2e-62de274f98a3 |date=21 January 2014 }} 8. ^Edmonton Journal archive 9. ^Date of birth confirmed as 30 January 1929 via email from Mary Hunt, Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, Room 212 Legislature Building, Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6 10. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.reg.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/project-pic.asp?lang=e&ProjectID=47&ProjectElementID=149| last=Canadian Heraldic Authority| title=The Public Register of Arms, Flags, and Badges of Canada> Lois Elsa Hole|publisher=Queen's Printer for Canada|accessdate=10 February 2014}} Bibliography{{refbegin}}
