On Saturday, May 6, King Charles III , Canada’s head of state, will be crowned alongside Queen Camila at Westminster Abbey in London. There are a lot of events coming up in May and June to celebrate the coronation.
Today, Lt.-Gov. Arthur J. LeBlanc announced the events happening in Nova Scotia to mark the coronation.
You still have time to find a stylish fascinator or tailcoat suit to attend a June 21 fancy and free garden party at Government House in Downtown Halifax. All joking aside, fascinators and tailcoat suits are not required.
