Residents will be excited to hear that the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge will be coming to B.C. during their upcoming Royal Tour.
Governor General David Johnston made the announcement Wednesday morning, stating that Prince William and Princess Kate have accepted an invitation to undertake the Royal Tour to Canada in fall 2016.
“Their Royal Tour will take them to the beautiful province of British Columbia and the scenic territory of Yukon. Our true Canadian pride and spirit will shine and be at the very heart of this visit so they can feel at home,” said Johnston.
"The Duke and Duchess are delighted to be returning to Canada. They hold very happy memories from their visit in 2011 - their first overseas tour as a married couple. They are really looking forward to seeing other parts of this beautiful country and having the opportunity to meet many more Canadians along the way," said a Kensington Palace spokesperson.
This will be the Royal couple’s second visit to Canada. Their first Royal Tour took place during the summer of 2011 but did not include British Columbia. The detailed itinerary of the 2016 Royal Tour will be published at a later date by the Department of Canadian Heritage.
