CBC News Special: The King in Canada
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.

'Pure joy' over Cowichan title ruling, First Nation chief says
Lyackson First Nation Chief Shana Thomas's nation is part of the Cowichan Tribes, which recently won a landmark ruling in B.C. Supreme Court that grants it Aboriginal title in the Richmond, B.C., area. While the ruling is expected to be appealed, Thomas says the ruling validated the truth that her nation's elders had been sharing for generations, and there had been a denial of the tribes' rights to their territory.
