On September 8, Queen Elizabeth II died, ending her reign as the longest-serving monarch in British history.
Throughout her time on the throne, the queen took 22 separate trips to Canada and visited everywhere from Ontario, B.C. and Saskatchewan, to Nunavut and the Northwest Territories.
In an emotional address on Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau paid tribute to her, calling her one of his "favourite people."
"She was our queen for almost half of Canada's existence, and she had an obvious, deep and abiding love and affection for Canadians," he said.
"She was thoughtful, wise, curious, helpful, funny, and so much more," he continued. "In a complicated world, her steady grace and resolve brought comfort and strength to us all. Canada is in mourning."
From pictures of her grinning at horses to posing with countless prime ministers, or meeting Canadian children, the queen appeared to enjoy her time in the great white north.
As Canada continues its national period of mourning, here's a look through the federal government's archives at some of the best photos of Queen Elizabeth II in Canada.
