Her meetings with them and her nine Prime Ministers, have given The Queen an intimate knowledge of Canada and has aided her in ful filling her role as our country's Head of State. As The Queen so succinctly said during a visit to Canada in 1964: "The role of a constitutional monarch is to personify the democratic state, to legitimate authority, to assure the legality of its measures and to guarantee the execution of its popular will." Over the 50 years of her Reign, Her Majesty has come to Canada on 20 occasions when she has met thousands of Canadians in all regions and, more importantly, in the vil lages, towns and cities where they live. Upon visiting the newly created (April 1999) Territory of Nunavut in October she will once again, have the dis tinction of having visited every province and territory and be the first member of the Royal Family to visit the new territory. The Queen has also been personally involved in many of our achievements and events, playing an integral part in creating defining moments in Canadian history: she is the first Monarch to read the Speech from the Throne (1957), she celebrated our Centenary with us at Expo '67, she declared open the Montreal Olympics in 1976 and she proclaimed The Constitution Act, 1982. The Queen has seen us evolve into a modem, confident and forward-looking society, evidenced in the adoption of the National Flag of Canada, the Canada Health Act, the Charter of Rights' and Freedoms and the Official Languages Act. In his congratulatory message to Her Majesty on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of her Accession to the Throne (February 6, 2002), Prime Minister Jean Chretien spoke of her understanding of Canada: As Queen of Canada, you have borne witness to our national growth and, indeed, have been present for many historic moments in the life of our country. I have had the honour to be in your presence on numerous occasions, and have always admired your commitment to Canada and your very genuine affection for Canadians. --with files from www.canadianheritage.gc.ca 2002 Golden Opportunity.
