On July 20th 1959, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh came to the remote mining town of Uranium City in northern Saskatchewan as part of a 45 day, 15,000 mile tour of Canada.
Since Queen Elizabeth was feeling under the weather (as it turns out due to being pregnant with Prince Andrew), Prince Philip made the days' appearances on his own.
As far as the residents of Uranium City were concerned, this was a one of the biggest events to ever happen in the booming mining community of 4,500.
The footage was shot by Uranium City resident, John Woroniuk, an employee of Eldorado Mining and Refining.
