“British Columbia is among the most beautiful places in the world, with scenic landscapes ranging from snow-capped mountain tops to sandy beaches. It is a place that welcomes people from all corners of the world.

“The peoples of B.C. are just as diverse. I am looking forward to introducing The Duke and Duchess to some of the different communities that make this such a great place to live.

“I know The Duke and the Duchess will enjoy their tour and will want to come back soon.”
