Alberta's lieutenant-governor dies
EDMONTON - Lois Hole, Alberta's lieutenant-governor, has died following a two-year battle with stomach cancer.

The 71-year-old died late Thursday afternoon at Edmonton's Royal Alexandra Hospital, the premier's office confirmed Friday.

The author of many gardening books, Hole was a regular contributor to a number of newspapers, including the Globe and Mail, Edmonton Journal and Edmonton Sun. She also made a number of appearances on CBC TV's Canadian Gardener.

She was famous for the hugs she offered to almost everyone she met.
