Halifax and Prince Charles

Prince Charles: Canada military involvement was a central theme of the royal couple tour of Halifax, a naval city where 500,000 military personnel embarked on transatlantic journeys to serve during the Second World War, according to Huffington Post. Later, Charles and Camilla met military families at a resource centre that helps them with a number of programs ranging from nutrition to mental health services while their loved ones are on deployment. They watched a ball hockey game in a parking lot outside the centre and inside Camilla shook hands with a puppet who was entertaining a group of children and Prince Charles reflected on Canada contribution to the Second World War before he and his wife Camilla went on a royal walkabout Monday among hundreds of people in Halifax, their first stop in a tour of three provincial capitals. Charles commented on the number of soldiers, sailors and airmen from Canada who fought to liberate Europe as the 75th anniversary of the start of the war approaches, calling it "an extraordinary contribution" from a country with a small population.
