About the Project
Government House Heritage Property, built in 1891, accommodates the Office of the Queen's representative in Saskatchewan, the Lieutenant Governor, and serves as a museum and government hospitality facility. Today, the building is a place of learning, welcoming about 25,000 visitors each year. The Centennial Project adds a new wing to Government House, and improves all aspects of the building.

_____
Humboldt Electric's Work
This addition to Government House included a new wing, which had to be built to match the old building. We handled all the electrical work on the project, including new offices for the Lieutenant Governor, the ballroom, and more. This project had grand lighting, to say the least, featuring a beautiful chandelier in the ballroom. The ceilings through much of the structure are 12 to 14 feet high, which presented a challenge with wiring all the lights. We also had to be extra careful while working inside a heritage building, taking great care not to damage any parts of the structure.

_____
Key Challenges

• Complex fixtures and lighting throughout building
• Installing electrical systems through very high ceilings
• Working to ensure the building was not damaged in any way
