On this date in 1951, Princess Elizabeth – who would become Queen only weeks later, in early 1952 – bid farewell to Canadians after her punishing cross-country tour of Canada. She did so in an address broadcast to Canada and the world from Newfoundland. Accompanied by her husband Prince Philip, the Princess had visited each of our provinces during the tour.
Wherever we have been throughout the ten provinces, in your great cities, in your towns, in your villages, and indeed in almost every mile that we have travelled through fields, forests, prairies and mountains, we have been welcomed with a warmth of heart that has made us feel how truly we belong to Canada.
We shall take with us memories that will always draw us back to this country; the towering buildings of your big cities and the charm of your smaller communities, the blue skies and golden colours of autumn – or, as I am now learning to call it, the fall – and the trees and fields beneath the first snow of winter – all the beauty and majesty of Canada. I thank you having shown me these things.
I am well aware that the acclaim you have given us, which has often seemed to me to have the breadth and immensity of the sea, has had a far deeper meaning in it than a personal welcome. And this has often made me think of the words spoken by the Governor General in Ottawa during the first days of our visit. He said then that the link with the Crown was a thing of real and tangible strength and one of the most important factors in united the people of the Commonwealth into one great brotherhood.
