Queen Elizabeth II Canada 1983
Her 15 tours and stays in Canada were in
1951 as Princess, 1957, 1959, 1964, 1967, 1970, 1971, twice in 1973, 1976,
1977, 1978, 1982, 1983 and 1984, as well as four stop-overs. As a result of
those visits she has brought hundreds of small Canadian communities and groups
which ordinarily go unnoticed to national and often international attention.
As the personification of our history,
she has presided over and endured the success of numerous Canadian
anniversaries and national occasions. They include the centenary of the
Confederation Conference in 1964, the centenary of Confederation in 1967, the
provincial centenaries of Manitoba in 1970, British Columbia in 1971, and
Prince Edward Island in 1973, and the bicentenaries of Ontario and New
Brunswick in 1984. She opened the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 and the Montreal
Olympics in 1976. In 1983, from Vancouver, she invited the people of the world
to visit Expo 86. That was a proud moment. She opened Parliament in 1957, the
first monarch to do so, and again in 1977. In 1967 she addressed both Houses.
