OTTAWA - Prince William and his new bride Catherine will travel by passenger jet, bush plane, naval frigate and canoe as they tour Canada next month on their first official overseas trip since their April 29 wedding.
The royal couple will attend Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa, dragon boat races in Charlottetown, a street hockey game in Yellowknife and the Stampede Parade in Calgary during their nine-day visit.
William and Kate's official itinerary, just released, sets a busy pace for the young couple, beginning with their arrival in Ottawa June 30 and ending with their departure from Calgary July 8.
They'll also visit Quebec, where they'll tour a children's hospital in Montreal and attend a military ceremony in Quebec City.
In between, they'll spend a night aboard HMCS Montreal, a navy frigate, for a leisurely sail down the St. Lawrence River.
In Yellowknife, they'll board a float plane for the isolated native community of Blachford Lake, where they'll take a canoe ride before departing the Northwest Territories for the Calgary Stampede.
