Royal Visits
For almost 60 years, The Queen has been a regular visitor to Canada. She made her first visit as Princess Elizabeth in 1951 with her husband, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. Since then, she has travelled to all regions of Canada and has been witness to many historic events.
Other members of the Royal Family have also made many official and personal visits to Canada. Here, learn more about Royal Visits to Canada.
"And as in all our visits down the years, whether watching a chuck wagon race at the Calgary Stampede or athletic prowess at the Montreal Olympics, whether listening to an Inuit song of greeting in Nunavut or the skirl of the pipes in Nova Scotia, I have always felt not only welcome but at home in Canada."
