Queen of Canada 1952 – 2022
Queen Elizabeth II was the longest reigning Sovereign in modern Canadian history and the longest reigning female Queen Regnant in world history. The Queen surpassed the length of Queen Victoria’s reign on September 9, 2015, and was the longest serving Head of State in the world.
The Queen and the late Duke of Edinburgh were the longest married royal couple in our history, having marked over 73 years together prior to Prince Philip’s death on April 9, 2021.
Canada and Toronto marked Her Majesty’s Silver (1977), Golden (2002), Diamond (2012) and Platinum (2022) Jubilees. The Queen, with the Duke, visited Toronto on seven occasions, starting in 1951 and finally in 2010. Several of her visits marked important milestones in Toronto.
Flags have been half-masted at all City facilities, parks and vessels throughout the mourning period.
