Good morning everyone! Today in 1509, Henry VIII was crowned king of England to start a tumultuous 38-year reign. Best know for his six wives, Henry split the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church in his efforts to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Also today in 1880, O Canada, with music by Calixa Lavallee and French lyrics by Judge A.B. Routhier, was performed for the first time at the Skaters Pavilion in Quebec City and in 1904, King Edward VII allowed the North-West Mounted Police (now the RCMP) to use the prefix Royal. Enjoy the day.
