As the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation approaches, celebrations abound. In addition to the foundational role played by the Fathers of Confederation, the support of two royal “mothers”—Queen Victoria and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II—helped to pave the way for national sovereignty. To date, these two exceptional reigns cover a total of 96 of Canada's 148 years, and each Queen influenced major historical milestones along the way.
