H.M.Y. BRITANNIA on which Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince Philip will visit the Seaway area and Ontario lake ports
welcomes Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. II
and His Royal. Highness the Prince Philip for the opening of the
ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY
The Government and the people of
Ontario welcome Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II, and His Royal Highness
the Prince Philip, to our great
Province.
With. the official opening of The
St. Lawrence Seaway by Her Gracious
Majesty, the worthy dream of years
becomes a reality. Now open to deep-
water shipping of the world, our Lake
Ports will provide access to the heart-
land of the Continent — and from
there, as ocean ports, will goforward,
into world trade channels, Canada's
and Ontario's raw materials and
manufactured goods. .
Out of this Development has also
come the great Provincial power
project—in which Ontario has made
a vast financial investment—pro-
viding additional power resources
which can be used to increase our
industrial, agricultural and economic
strength.
Proud to be a partner in the British
Commonwealth of Nations, our Cana-
dian Nation rejoices in and looks
forward to the Royal visit.' It will be
marked by many memorable events.
They will be of great historic signifi-
cance, providing opportunity as well
to show to the Queen of Canada the
unfailing loyalty, devotion and af-
fection of her Canadian people.
May the visit to Ontario of our
Gracious Sovereign be a pleasant one;
as we pay her due homage.
