  • Congratulations pour in from political leaders in BC on King Charles coronation

Political leaders in B-C have issued congratulatory statements for the coronation of King Charles, with changes to the province's administrative Great Seal.

B-C Premier David Eby says in a statement that the coronation of Charles marks the first crowning of a Canadian head-of-state in seven decades.

The event marks --quote-- "an opportunity to reflect on the common interests and values we share."

B-C Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin and Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai have also issued congratulatory statements for the coronation, which took place at Westminster Abbey in London.

The Union of B-C Indian Chiefs, however, criticized the ceremony, saying it --quote-- "cannot participate in or celebrate a ceremony or system that has suppressed and oppressed First Nations rights in Canada."
