Today, September 8, marks the fourth anniversary of the passing of Queen Elizabeth and the accession of His Majesty King Charles III.
For many, this day carries a deep sense of remembrance and reflection. Queen Elizabeth’s extraordinary life of service touched generations of Canadians, and her death marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter for the country and the Commonwealth.
In Canada, September 8, 2022, was also a significant constitutional moment, as the succession took place seamlessly and peacefully, reflecting the continuity and stability of our institutions.
Four years on, we remember Queen Elizabeth with gratitude and affection, honour her remarkable dedication to duty and service, and reflect on the historic transition to the reign of King Charles III.
