Key facts

  • Eligibility: birthdays from 80 and up in 5-year steps (80, 85, 90...), and wedding anniversaries from 50 and up in 5-year steps.
  • The office's own page explicitly says to send the completed Greeting Form "by email or regular mail" — one of the few provincial offices that confirms postal requests outright.
  • Submit 8 to 12 weeks before the date you need the greeting delivered by.
  • This is separate from the federal Governor General/King programs (90th birthday+/50th anniversary+, mailed to Rideau Hall) — Alberta's own Lieutenant Governor greeting has a lower age threshold and its own office.
  • PostPal prints your completed greeting form and deposits it with Canada Post the next business day for $6 — a paper-free way to use the mail option the office itself offers.

Common questions

Where do I mail a request for an Alberta Lieutenant Governor's greeting?

Mail it to Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, 3rd Floor, Legislature Building, 10800 - 97 Avenue, Edmonton, AB T5K 2B6. The office's own page confirms the completed Greeting Form can be sent by regular mail.

What ages and anniversaries qualify?

How is this different from the Governor General or King's greeting?

8 to 12 weeks before the date you need the greeting delivered by.

Can PostPal mail my greeting request to the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta?
