    Share

    Canadians welcome Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, as they embark on a three-day, travel-filled visit starting Tuesday.

    Between what senior government officials, Canadian Heritage, Rideau Hall and Clarence House here鈥檚 everything we know about the royal tour and its itinerary.

    The trip is set to focus on 鈥渓earning from Indigenous peoples鈥 and 鈥渨orking with businesses to find a more sustainable way of living with global warming,鈥 while also celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the 70th anniversary of her accession to the Throne.

    All told, their Royal Highnesses will travel more than 3,218 kilometres (2,000 miles) across Canada during their trip.

    Despite polling indicating Canadians鈥 support for the monarchy is waning and could reach new lows under Prince Charles as king, one senior official told reporters during a background briefing on the upcoming trip that the government is 鈥渁bsolutely delighted鈥 to host.

    FIRST STOP: ST. JOHN'S MAY 17

    Prince Charles and Camilla鈥檚 first stop in Canada will be St. John鈥檚, N.L. There, the plan includes a welcome by schoolchildren, community representatives, as well as other dignitaries at around 1:30 local time, with a ceremony at the Confederation Building in the capital city 鈥渨hich will reflect the province鈥檚 rich tradition of song and story.鈥

    His Royal Highness is slated to give a speech, on what exactly remains to be seen.

    There will also be an inspection of the Guard of Honour, and a signing of the Government of Canada 鈥淕olden Book鈥 and the Newfoundland and Labrador guestbook, before moving on to visit Government House, the official residence of Lieutenant-Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador Judy Foote.

    There, the pair will meet with Indigenous leaders at a garden dedicated to the memory of Indigenous children who died and those who survived the residential school system 鈥渇or a solemn moment of reflection,鈥 and then, with Foote, lay a bronze marker at to inaugurate a new 鈥渃ommonwealth walkway.鈥

    At some point during the stop at Government House, there are plans for the royal couple to participate in 鈥渁 discussion on Canada鈥檚 wool industry鈥 and partake in a knitting circle with 鈥淣ONIA knitters,鈥 a century-old non-profit organization.

    Then, like all good tourists to St. John鈥檚, the Prince and the Duchess will visit the Quidi Vidi Village 鈥渢o meet local artists and members of the local food industries and fishing communities.鈥

    To round out their 鈥渨alkabout鈥 with an iconic east coast backdrop, Charles and Camilla will pop into the local Quidi Vidi Brewery to learn about how they make their growing list of beers, which includes a well-known lager made with 20,000-year-old water from an iceberg.

    SECOND STOP: THE NATION'S CAPITAL MAY 18

    Day two of the royal tour will see Prince Charles and Camilla visit Ottawa.

    First item on their itinerary will be seeing the Prince of Wales invested into the Order of Military Merit at Rideau Hall. Then, he and the Duchess will be joining Gov. Gen. Mary Simon at the National War Memorial to lay a wreath to 鈥渞emember those Canadians who lost their lives in service to their country.鈥

    Then, the pair will meet with members and organizations from the Ukrainian community and participate in a traditional prayer service at a yet-to-be-named Ottawa cathedral. Among the topics of discussion during this meeting: Canada鈥檚 efforts to support Ukrainians who have fled Russia鈥檚 unjustified war in the country.

    That afternoon, the royal tour will continue at a Vanier-neighbourhood elementary school where Charles and Camilla will speak with parents of students鈥 many of whom are new arrivals to Canada鈥攁s well as teachers and organizations 鈥渙n the importance of literacy,鈥 and providing support to newcomers.

    It wouldn鈥檛 be a classic day in Ottawa without some heady policy talk. Prince Charles has plans to partake in a roundtable led by Environment and Climate Change Canada and featuring business leaders, academics, and civil society organizations on 鈥渟ustainable finance in combating climate change and building a net-zero economy.鈥

    Then, they鈥檒l head over to the home of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride, where the royals will meet the riders, walk through the stables and be given 鈥渁 special performance.鈥 In case you didn鈥檛 know, Prince Charles has been an honorary RCMP Commissioner since 2012.

    Rounding out their visit to the city, the couple will meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and partake in a 鈥渟pecial evening reception鈥 at Rideau Hall 鈥 a short walk from Trudeau鈥檚 residence 鈥 to celebrate the Queen being Canada鈥檚 longest reigning Sovereign.

    In attendance at this soiree will be a mix of Canadians who 鈥渉ave dedicated their lives to serving their communities.鈥

    When the royal tour was first announced, Trudeau鈥檚 office issued a statement saying he and his wife Sophie were looking forward to welcoming Charles and Camilla and 鈥渟howing them some of the many reasons why we take pride in being Canadian.鈥

    THIRD STOP: THE NORTH MAY 19

    For their final day in Canada, Prince Charles and Camilla will be heading north.

    They鈥檒l be flying to Yellowknife, the capital of Northwest Territories, where they鈥檒l visit the Dene First Nation community of Dettah to partake in local culture and traditions. They will also speak with local chiefs and elders, and visit a school that provides culturally-responsive teaching.

    It looks like the couple will then go separate ways, with Charles heading to a park where he will be appointed as an honorary member of the Canadian Rangers before meeting with locals at an ice road to talk about the impact of climate change and Indigenous-led solutions.

    Meanwhile, Camilla will visit a transitional housing facility for women and children who are fleeing domestic violence, and will partake in a bannock-making demonstration.

    They鈥檒l reconvene at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre to meet with local food producers, and watch a demonstration of Inuit sports. Their Royal Highnesses will also be part of a discussion on Treaty 11, which is the last of Canada鈥檚 numbered treaties signed by the Crown and First Nations in Northwest Territories in 1921.

    Rounding out their trip, they鈥檒l make one last stop at a place called the 鈥淐eremonial Circle鈥 for another Platinum Jubilee celebration which will include a flag-raising and a presentation of various symbolic plants and flowers.

    The royal couple is scheduled to depart at 6:30 p.m. local time from the Yellowknife airport, and their sendoff will include some elements of pomp and circumstance, including the participation of military officials.
