Did you know...
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first tour to Canada was in 2011-their first overseas tour after the Royal Wedding on April 29, 2011! Stops included Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Charlottetown, Summerside, Yellowknife, Slave Lake and Calgary.
The 2016 Royal Tour was The Duke of Cambridge's third official tour to Canada, and his first official tour to Yukon and British Columbia. Prince William has previously toured British Columbia, but not in an official capacity: he enjoyed a skiing vacation at Whistler in 1998.
A Royal presence on Canadian soil is a tradition that dates back to more than 200 years! The first member of the Royal Family to set foot here was PrinceWilliam (the future King William IV), who travelledto Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and then-Province of Canada in 1786 while serving in the Royal Navy.
The Royal Tour of 1939 marked the first time a reigning monarch visited Canada. Enthusiastic crowds greeted King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at every stop during the 29-day cross-country voyage, which was commemorated by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2014 with the issue of three numismatic coins.
