Canada declares April 17 National Day of Mourning for His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The Government of Canada will hold a national commemorative ceremony in honour of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh who passed away this past Friday, on Saturday, April 17, at 12:30 p.m. at Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa. The ceremony is to be held without a congregation, and will be broadcast live by CBC and Radio-Canada. It will include virtual tributes and performances. To honour the memory of His Royal Highness, a National Day of Mourning will be proclaimed on the day of the ceremony. In addition, the Government of Canada has proceeded with a half-masting of the National Flag of Canada. Flags are being flown at half-mast on all Government of Canada buildings and establishments, in Canada and abroad, until sunset on Saturday. A gun salute in Canada will also be conducted in honour of His Royal Highness. Canadians are invited to visit a com-
memorative website to learn more about His Royal Highness and his enduring commitment to Canada, where they may also sign an online Book of Condolences. The commemorative website and a link to send condolences can be found at: www.canada.ca/en/canadianheritage/commemoration-dukeedinburgh.html A commemorative portrait and card in memory of Prince Philip may also be downloaded (see picture-left). “Today, our hearts are heavy with sorrow for the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. On behalf of the people of Alberta, I extend deepest condolences to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We also extend our sincerest sympathies to all other members of the Royal Family,” said Jason Kenney, Premier. The Province is also hosting an online condolence book, where Albertans can share messages of sympathy and support for the family through an online book of condolence, which is available at alberta.ca/PrincePhilipMemorial.
