The Prince of Wales visits Quebec

-
On his continuing North American tour, Prince Albert officially entered Canada proper when he landed at Quebec.  He spent four days in the city, visiting the Assembly where he conferred the first knighthood invested in Canada on Narcisse Belleau, the Speaker of the Legislative Council,  and the Catholic Université Laval, the oldest educational insitution in Canada.  He was also guest of honor at a Grand Ball held at the Music Hall.  He and his party left Quebec on the morning of August 23, 1860 for his next stop, in Montreal.  (By John Osborne)
