The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla will be marked by government celebrations in Saskatchewan.
The coronation of Canada’s new monarch – the first in seven decades – is set for May 6 at London’s Westminster Abbey. According to the provincial government, a parade to mark the occasion will take place at 1 p.m. on May 5 in front of the Legislative Building in Regina.
The parade will include members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP, “and will celebrate the devotion to service and close historic ties by His Majesty to both uniformed organizations that began while he was the Prince of Wales, and which will continue as King of Canada.”
A later celebration will be hosted by Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty at Government House in Regina on May 13 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. That event will include greetings from the Lieutenant Governor and other dignitaries along with a musical performance by singer-songwriter Jeffery Straker, who will debut his new song composed for the coronation.
Others with ties to Charles and the Royal Family will also be making presentations at the event, the government added, and the celebration will also include exhibits and keepsake giveaways.
