The Lieutenant Governor is accorded the honour and respect due to the King's representative.
The full title of the Lieutenant Governor is "Her Honour, the Honourable Salma Lakhani, AOE, BSc, LLD (hon) Lieutenant Governor of Alberta."
The full title should be used in printed materials, such as event programs and formal invitation cards, as well as printed materials listing the Lieutenant Governor as Honourary Patron. The post-nominals (AOE, BSc, LLD (hon)) can be omitted when introducing the Lieutenant Governor.
The Lieutenant Governor is addressed personally in the second person as "Your Honour."
In the third person, the Lieutenant Governor is referred to as "Her Honour" or "The Lieutenant Governor."
In Canadian English, the standard is to pronounce the first syllable of lieutenant as "left" as in /lef-tenant/. This is also regarded as standard throughout the Commonwealth.
The spouse of the Lieutenant Governor is referred to as "His Honour."
