How to follow CBC's coverage of the King's visit to Canada
Coverage includes live specials hosted by Adrienne Arsenault on May 26 and Rosemary Barton on May 27
As King Charles arrives for his first visit to Canada as monarch, CBC News will be there to bring you every moment. The King is here to do what no sovereign has done in nearly half a century: deliver the speech from the throne, on Tuesday, May 27.
On Monday, CBC News chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault, along with royal historian Carolyn Harris, will host live coverage of the first day of the King and Queen's visit. Here's everything you need to know for both days.
Monday
Charles and Camilla land in Ottawa and will meet Canadians, plant a tree and meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney. Expect a lot of symbolism, as is the way with senior members of the royal family.
CBC News will analyze the meaning behind every symbolic moment as King Charles makes his mark here. That's on Monday starting at 12:30 p.m. ET (9:30 a.m. PT, 10:30 a.m. MT, 11:30 a.m. CT, 1:30 p.m. AT, 2 p.m. NT) on CBC TV, CBC News Network and everywhere you stream CBC News: CBC Gem, CBCNews.ca, the CBC News app, YouTube channel and on your smart TV.
Tuesday
CBC News chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton, together with Power & Politics host David Cochrane, provide special live coverage of the throne speech delivered by King Charles.
At a time when Canada's sovereignty has been openly challenged by the U.S. president, the constancy of the monarchy and the symbolic process of our democracy will take centre stage. At the same time, Canadians will learn the priorities of the newly elected government.
CBC News is there to help make sense of this historic day, from the beginning of the parade to the throne speech and the laying of a wreath at the Cenotaph. Our coverage begins at 9 a.m. ET (6 a.m. PT, 7 a.m. MT, 8 a.m. CT, 10 a.m. AT, 10:30 a.m. NT) on CBC TV, CBC News Network and everywhere you stream CBC News: CBC Gem, CBCNews.ca, the CBC News app, YouTube channel, and on your smart TV.
Both specials are available with closed captioning and described video.
CBC Radio also has live coverage of the speech from the throne.
