Premier Christy Clark has issued the following statement in response to the Royal Tour itinerary:

“I’m looking forward to welcoming the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their visits to five British Columbia communities as part of their Royal Tour.

“The tour is an opportunity for their Royal Highnesses to witness the very best of our province – from the Great Bear Rainforest, to the emerging generation of young, tech-minded entrepreneurs, to millennia-old Indigenous cultures.

“On behalf of all British Columbians, I’m pleased and proud to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to our province, and the lifestyle, culture and scenery British Columbians treasure.”
