Monarchy in British Columbia
By the arrangements of the
Canadian federation
,
Canada's monarchy
operates in
British Columbia
as the core of the province's
Westminster-style
parliamentary
democracy
. As such,
the Crown
within British Columbia's jurisdiction is referred to as
the Crown in Right of British Columbia
,
Her Majesty in Right of British Columbia
, or
the Queen in Right of British Columbia
. The
Constitution Act, 1867
, however, leaves many royal duties in British Columbia specifically assigned to the sovereign's viceroy, the
Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia
, whose direct participation in governance is limited by the conventional stipulations of
constitutional monarchy
.
