Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, spent their Valentine’s Day evening with the First Nations of western Canada on Wednesday February 14.
The two visited the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre in the hours following their appearance in Whistler for the Invictus Games’ One Year to Go event, accompanied by Youth Ambassadors Chief Nelson and Wilson Williams. They got to know the young artists who designed the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 logo, which incorporates designs from the four First Nations tribes along with the Games’ logo.
