The Black Rod is a ceremonial staff created in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, when she was Queen of Canada. Based on a 600-year-old Westminster parliamentary tradition, the Black Rod is used on formal occasions when the Monarch or their provincial representative, the Lieutenant Governor, wishes to enter the Legislative Chamber.
