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.
