Welcome to the Toronto Railway Museum’s 2021 Virtual Lecture Series— part of our “10th Anniversary Take Two” campaign.
Join us on a journey to the past as we examine Royal Tours of Canada during the 19th century through today. We will celebrate Her Majesty’s 95th Birthday and our rich Royal ties by looking back on our beloved Monarch’s many rail tours across Canada. We will also review the 2020 UK Royal train tour of William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, to thank essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
