Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada

April 28, 2011
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement to announce the Canadian wedding gifts for His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton:



“I am pleased to announce the Government of Canada will make a donation to the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary in honour of the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton. The Government of Canada will offer this wedding gift on behalf of all Canadians.


“The Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary was chosen by Prince William and Miss Middleton to be the Canadian beneficiary of a special charitable fund that was set up to celebrate their wedding. The donation of $50,000 by the Government of Canada will allow the organization’s volunteers to carry out their mission, which is to offer—day and night—a permanent search and rescue program to meet the needs of Canada’s marine services, as well as to prevent injuries or loss of human life at sea. Through its search and rescue and nautical safety programs, this not-for-profit organization assists the Coast Guard and the Department of National Defence.



“Canada is proud to offer a wedding gift to a family member of our Head of State, Her Majesty The Queen. This gift was chosen specifically for the occasion and represents Canadians and the pride they have in their country.


“The selection of this worthy cause is symbolic of Canada’s affection for the Royal couple. Canadians are eager to welcome the Royal couple to Canada for their first Royal Tour as newlyweds and share the best of our great land.”


The Prime Minister and Mrs. Harper have also arranged for a personal gift of outdoor equipment for use when the Royal couple experience Canada's natural splendour later this year.

Yup, that's it. Enough of the wars, weather catastrophes, etc. - it's not that we don't 'care', it's just something different - a chance to vicariously enjoy some happiness!

Grrr... to our local talkshow host who just referred to the royal wedding as 'the superbowl for cat ladies'! He's getting an email from me!

I agree!! I expected Canada to go over...but the hoards of American networks going is kind of shocking...apparently since some also wanted a day off as well. I don't think many of them cared for the royal wedding but I guess you have to hop onto the bandwaggon when the rest of the world is

I am guessing you will be up at 3AM?

[Natalka]

Yes, I'll be up!

Changed avatar and siggy to reflect the celebration!
