The Saskatchewan government has ushered in a new policy on naming landmarks after former premiers.

The announcement of the policy came from Premier Brad Wall as a ministerial statement Wednesday, and follows recommendations made in a report by former lieutenant-governor Gordon Barnhart.

“I think it’s reasonable that we would have a formal policy for naming things after former premiers,” Wall told reporters.

Along with the policy announcement, it was revealed that provincial landmarks would be named after former premiers Ross Thatcher, Grant Devine and Roy Romanow.

Earlier this fall, the Regina Public Schools Adult Campus was opened in its new location under the name the Allan Blakeney Adult Campus — a decision Wall said was made knowing the policy was being developed.

“Regardless of how you feel about politics, all of these three individuals — four including premier Blakeney — contributed greatly to this province,” Wall said.
