With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, what happens to our bills and coins?
Canadians are used to seeing Queen Elizabeth II on our money.
But this could change following the death of the longest-serving British monarch and Canadian head of state.
However, the Bank of Canada, which produces Canada's paper bills, says changes likely won't be seen immediately.
It says the current $20 bank note, which features the Queen, is intended to circulate for years to come.
The central bank says there is no legislative requirement to change the design within a prescribed period when the monarch changes.
Charles has long history with Canada, but must step into the spotlight as King
As he stood between wind-whipped Canadian flags on a podium in Iqaluit in 2017, Prince Charles recalled his official first visit to Canada's North nearly half a century earlier.
"I have never forgotten the warmth of the welcome from the Inuit people, which made me feel instantly at home, as indeed I have with all Canadians on my subsequent visits," said Charles, who drew applause from the crowd in Nunavut's capital with a halting attempt at an Inuktitut greeting.
The Queen, longest-reigning monarch in British history, dies at 96: Buckingham Palace
Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada and the Commonwealth, ascended the throne as much by a twist of fate as by the grace of God.
As the daughter and granddaughter of men who were not first in line to the throne, Elizabeth was once destined for a life of relative regal obscurity.
Instead, she became one of the world’s most famous women at the age of 25, when her father’s death in 1952 made her England’s sixth ruling queen and longest-reigning monarch.
Peter Whitmore, who abducted and abused Manitoba and Sask. boys, denied parole
A pedophile who kidnapped and repeatedly sexually assaulted two boys in an abandoned Saskatchewan house in 2006 has been denied parole.
Fifty-one-year-old Peter Whitmore had a request for full parole refused in a written decision signed by Parole Board of Canada members Kathleen Gowanlock and Alison Scott on Aug. 31.
The decision says that Whitmore "caused great harm to two children in what was a prolonged attack" and continues to have "acknowledged deviant sexual preferences."
Doctors 'concerned' about Queen Elizabeth II's health
Buckingham Palace says Queen Elizabeth II is under medical supervision as doctors are “concerned for Her Majesty’s health.”
The announcement on Thursday comes a day after the 96-year-old monarch canceled a meeting of her Privy Council and was told to rest.
The palace says the queen is “comfortable” and remains at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where she has spent the summer.
Prime Minister Liz Truss said “the whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime.”
