  Lois Hole Legacy | Ted Hole Scholarship | Hole's History |

“The heart and soul of Alberta doesn’t lie in the rich farmland,
the majestic Rockies, the precious oilfields or bustling cities.
As wondrous and important as those features may be,
that heart resides in our people.”

-Lois Hole

“Sometimes I wish we lived in a less hectic world,
where everyone could find time to enjoy a simple breakfast.
I hate to see people going hungry.
It hurts, especially when there’s no need for it.
We are rich enough to feed everyone, and yet,
somehow, we’re not quite smart enough or fair enough to do it.”

-Lois Hole

“I have faith in a better future, because I have faith that most human beings want to do the right thing. If we can put aside differences of ideology, if we can learn to love one another, then one day we will enjoy a world where no one need live in fear, where no one need go hungry, where everyone can enjoy a good education, the fellowship of friendly neighbours, and the security of a world at peace with itself at long last.”

The Honourable
Dr. Lois E. Hole, C.M., A.O.E.
Lieutenant Governor of Alberta
