Montreal native Autumn Kelly is marrying Peter Phillips, the Queen's oldest grandson, in a modest Royal wedding in Windsor Castle today.

The couple met at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal in 2003. Peter Phillips is the son of Princess Anne and 10th in line to the throne. At his mother's request, Peter Phillips does not have a Royal title nor does he perform Royal engagements. Phillips works for the Royal Bank of Scotland. Autumn Kelly is a graduate of McGill University in Montreal and works as an assistant to British media personality Sir Michael Parkinson. She plans to continue with her job after the wedding, and told "Hello! Magazine" that she will keep her Canadian passport.

About 300 guests were invited to the private wedding, including the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Charles.

Pictures of relief camps, soup kitchens, protest marches and drought are vivid reminders of the pain of the 1930s and the Great Depression in Canada.

Governments in Canada were slow to respond to the desperate economic and social conditions. Until the Great Depression, governments in Canada intervened as little as possible in the economy and social welfare was left to churches and charities.

The Great Depression led to the creation in 1934 of the Bank of Canada to manage Canada's money supply and help formulate monetary policy. The Great Depression also led to the beginnings of a social safety net in Canada, which now includes minimum wage, employment standards and programs such as health insurance and employment insurance.

Canadian permanent residents, including children, coming back to Canada by commercial vehicle - plane, boat, train or bus - must have a Permanent Resident Card to prove their permanent resident status. The cards are issued for five years, or occasionally for only one year. When your card expires you must apply for a new Permanent Resident Card.

If you are a permanent resident and plan to travel outside Canada, you should check the expiry date on your Permanent Resident Card. Be sure to allow enough time for your application for a new card to be processed, and apply at least two months before you plan to leave the country.

On D-Day in 1944, the Allies began the invasion of Northwest Europe, marking the beginning of the end of World War II. After more than a year of preparation a huge British, Canadian and American force crossed the English Channel aiming for a 50-mile stretch of the Normandy coast.

About 14,000 Canadians landed in Normandy on D-Day. Estimates vary, but there were over 1000 Canadian casualties, with more than 400 killed. These pictures of Canadians on D-Day show what the Canadians faced on that historic day.

On May 1, 2008 the age of consent in Canada went up from 14 to 16, the first time it has been changed in more than 100 years. The age of consent is the age at which criminal law recognizes the legal capacity of a young person to consent to sexual activity, from kissing to intercourse. It means that adults are criminally liable if they have sex with someone under that age. The offence carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

The change to the age of consent is part of the Tackling Violent Crime Act, cornerstone legislation which gathered together many key elements of the Conservative's anti-crime drive.

If you have corrections, received some tax information late, or just remembered something to add, you can change your Canadian income tax return online or by mail. The Canada Revenue Agency asks you to wait until you receive your Notice of Assessment before you file changes though, so things don't get confused. After you send in your changes, it will take about eight weeks for the Canada Revenue Agency to make an adjustment and mail you a Notice of Reassessment.

Almost 20,000 of the 80,000 Canadians who died in World War I have no identifiable grave. Those who could be identified as Canadian have gravestones inscribed "A Canadian Soldier of the Great War - known unto God." In 2000, Canada created the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to represent all Canadian service people who have no known grave.

The Canadian government asked the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to select a grave of an unidentified Canadian soldier in the Vimy Ridge area of France. The remains of the soldier were brought back to Canada and buried in the sarcophagus of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Nothing is known about the soldier who is buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, except that he was Canadian, he died in France during World War I, and he was young.
