OTTAWA, June 2, 2022

Today the Government of Canada announced the official donations on behalf of Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall to mark the end to a successful Royal Tour of Canada.

From May 17 to 19, 2022, Their Royal Highnesses travelled more than 3 000 kilometres from the easternmost point of Canada in Newfoundland and Labrador to the Northwest Territories in Northern Canada. The Royal Couple also visited Canada’s Capital Region, which included a special reception to mark the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

As part of a longstanding tradition, the Government of Canada will make the following contributions to initiatives in communities visited by Their Royal Highnesses:

• $15,000 to Conservation Corps Newfoundland and Labrador to provide youth with training and employment in environmental and cultural heritage
• $15,000 to Start2Finish Canada to promote health and wellness of children in Canada through literacy and fitness education
• $15,000 to Aboriginal Sport Circle to provide accessible and equitable sport and recreation opportunities for Indigenous Peoples across the Northwest Territories

In addition, the Government of Canada will donate $25,000 to United Way Northwest Territories to provide relief to residents affected by the recent flooding in Hay River and the surrounding area.
