“Today I join Canadians and people across the Commonwealth and around the world in celebrating the 75th birthday of His Majesty King Charles III, King of Canada.
“His Majesty has been a constant presence in the lives of Canadians over the past 75 years, including through 19 official trips to our country. On the occasion of this milestone birthday, we look back on the many special moments we shared with him, from his numerous visits to northern Canada to our country’s 200th birthday celebrations in 2017, and hope that His Majesty’s relationship to Canada will continue to grow stronger for many years to come.
“On this day, we also recognize His Majesty’s sense of duty and commitment to public service. For decades, he has championed important causes close to his heart, including conservation, sustainable development, healthcare and education, with a focus on building a better future for the next generation. The Prince’s Trust, which he founded nearly 50 years ago, has helped one million young people and veterans around the world, including here in Canada, achieve their full potential.
“On behalf of the Government of Canada, I wish His Majesty a happy 75th birthday and continued health and happiness.”
