Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon unveiled a new plaque marking British Columbia Loyalist Day and the 75th commemoration of the Royal Visit to Canada on Tuesday.
The new plaque was laid in an existing stone in the Mayor’s Grove at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria.
The United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada is dedicated to shedding light on the contributions of the United Empire Loyalists — those who settled in 13 colonies at the outbreak of the American Revolution — and their contribution to Canada.
The 1939 royal tour to Canada by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth was the first visit of a reigning monarch to Canada.
