Media Release – for Immediate Release
The Earl and Countess, better known as Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones, are the youngest son and daughter-in-law of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Ontario visit is being hosted by Ontario’s Lieutenant Governor The Honourable David Onley, and this is the first time British Royalty has visited Sainte-Marie among the Hurons.
The historic site will be
resplendent with seasonal décor celebrating the onset of the Fall Harvest season.
Upon arrival the Royals will be greeted by an impressive Encampment display at
Sainte-Marie’s front entrance, with numerous examples of “survival-in-the-bush”
historic skills.
They’ll see traditional
foods such as corn meal and maple syrup in the Cookhouse, view historic
blacksmithing, learn about traditional birch-bark canoe building, and enjoy a locked
waterway demonstration. Re-enactment
group La Compagnie Franche will showcase the heritage of this early military
unit in New France. The Earl and Countess will also see the Church
of Sainte-Joseph beautifully lit with candlelight, reminiscent of
Sainte-Marie’s annual First Light celebrations.
Highly significant for the Royals will
be their experience in Sainte-Marie’s Native Area. The couple will learn about moose-hair
tufting, a traditional First Nations craft, and lacrosse, Canada’s original
sport. The pageantry and colour of First Nations singing, drumming, and dancing
will fill the air as the Red Spirit Circle Drum Group, the Christian Island Drum
Group, and the Kwiikikwe Métis Women’s Drum Group will perform in their spectacular costumes. Greetings will also be extended by The
Beausoleil First Nation Chief and the President of the Georgian Bay Métis
Council.
The Royal Visit of Prince Edward
and Sophie Rhys-Jones to
Sainte-Marie among the Hurons will be on Sunday, September 16, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The public is welcome
to attend, and are encouraged to arrive early.
Sainte-Marie opens at 10:00 a.m., regular site admission rates will
apply.
Sainte-Marie among the Hurons is operated by
Huronia Historical Parks,
a division of the Ontario Ministry of
Tourism, Culture, and Sport.
