相信許多朋友都希望能給家中長輩留下難忘的生日回憶,若能拿到某位名人的祝壽賀卡,必定更錦上添花。名人?英國女王或加國總督,夠份量了吧?這並非異想天開,原來只要符合條件,星斗小巿民如你和我,也可以邀請英女王和加拿大總督給家中長輩送上祝福!
You may know that you can apply for congratulatory message from your MLA, but do you know that you can also get birthday or anniversary message from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II or Governor General of Canada? The applicants do have to be above a certain age, or have to be married for an extended number of years. Please check out the website at the bottom of this article to find out the qualifications and the procedures!
英女王伊麗莎伯二世今年已經 91 歲,高壽又健康,她除了是英國人的 Her Majesty,同時也是加國的名義元首,如果寫信給她,她可是會回信的(當然由秘書處代筆),還可向她索取照片呢。若家中有年滿百歲的長輩,你大可以每年為他們申請祝壽卡。
事實上,公眾也可申請加國總理、省長與省議員的祝賀信。若想獲得省長與省議員的祝賀信,亞省的申請者須年滿 65 歲。加國總理的生日祝福省民須年滿 75 歲,省督的生日祝福須年滿 80 歲。
而結婚滿 25 週年,亦可申請加國總理、省長、國會及省議員的祝賀信。而結婚滿 50 週年可向加拿大總督,而滿 60 週年結婚紀念可向英女王的秘書處申情。
