Informed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will tour British Columbia and Yukon this fall, tourism officials have been hard at work finding suitable accommodations and entertainments.
Philomena Millhauser, a spokesperson for Tourism BC, discussed some of the possibilities:
"The first stop will be a working ranch in the Cariboo region. We're hoping Prince William will take part in the branding and calf neutering, and then our resident chef, Chuckwagon Chet, will show the Duchess how to prepare calf fries. Of course, they'll sleep in the bunkhouse, and join in the nightly round of singing old Hank Snow songs.
"Next, we think the Royal couple will be fascinated by one of our back to the earth adventures. We'll set them down on one of the less populated Gulf Islands with an axe, a pail, and a sleeping bag, and let them forage for food. Won't that be fun?
"And then, for a chance to be up close with the people of the province, and experience the vibrant sense of community among us, we'll equip them with pickets and have them join a line of protesters, either Site C or Kindall Morgan--we're still working out the details.
"Also in the plans: tree-topping with real lumberjacks!"
Welcome, Will and Kate!
