Queen’s 1970 Visit to Manitoba (Part 2)

By admin

Shortly after the Queen’s full speech was given and completed, the entire Royal Family next made their way by motorcade to Main Street. From there the Royal Family strolled along historic Main Street to the then Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature , where the Queen was scheduled to preside at the official opening of the Museum , which is now simply known as the “Manitoba Museum”.

The Royal Family took the time to walk down the east side of Winnipeg’s historic Main Street. The crowd cheered and clapped almost in full segments as the Royal Family stopped at various points along “Main Street”.

Overall it can be more than said the thousands lining the street and streets it was a grand way to mark Manitoba’s full 100′th anniversary into the Confederation of Canada.

By admin

The white sails in Hudson Bay drove their ships on the same human quest and quests.  The vessels were the Resolution and the Discovery , Henry Hudson’s old ship , now for a second time sailing the bay, her lost captain had scanned the deck in 1610.  Their commander was Captain Thomas Button , later to be Admiral Sir Thomas Button.  Behind the voyage stood the chivalry and wealth and indeed the Royalty of England. committed to the discovery of a “North West Passage” to the Orient by Hudson’s new found strait.  The enterprise had been launched in full confidence that the way lay open. and now the low shoreline was ahead , stretching north and south out of sight.  It was however to be a most bitter disappointment.  Button named his landfall  “Hopes Checkt”  and stood southward to seek a westward opening.
