The death of Queen Elizabeth is not only the end of a royal era, but a time for Canadians to reflect on what her reign meant to them on a personal level.

We’d like to hear from Lake Report readers about their own memories of the Queen.

Did you ever meet her? Have a close encounter? Receive a letter or note from her office – or from the Queen herself?

Send us your recollections, photos and thoughts on the loss of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and we will publish a selection of them in print and online.

Email them to editor@niagaranow.com and make sure you include your name and contact information.
