The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along with their two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, arrive Saturday for their eight-day tour of Western Canada.

With the majority of their visit in British Columbia, we've got full coverage of this historic tour.

CTV's The Royal Visit site is your one-stop shop for all things Royal: the latest stories, videos, galleries, livestreams and insider info about the visit.

The couple will visit Vancouver, Victoria, Bella Bella, Haida Gwaii and Kelowna while they're in B.C. Their Royal Highnesses will also visit Whitehorse and Carcross in the Yukon.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau will participate in a number of the events, including the official welcome in Victoria, a visit to the Kitsilano Coast Guard base and a tour of the Immigrant Services Society's new Welcome Centre in Vancouver.

Government House in Victoria will serve as William and Kate's home base, and they will return there each evening except for Tuesday, when they overnight in Whitehorse.

You may be out of luck if you're hoping to catch a glimpse of Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The wee duo will only be seen publically twice during the tour: getting off the plane in Victoria and a tea party for military families and their children at Government House.

Breakdown of the tour

Their Royal Highnesses will take part in events and activities that highlight the work Canadians are doing to preserve the environment, improve mental health, encourage active living and highlight Indigenous culture and heritage.

Pack your patience

With thousands of people expected to flood Victoria's downtown core Saturday to catch a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, people are predictably being urged to plan ahead and expect road closures and delays.

Because of the massive crowds, the city of Victoria is asking the public not to bring “unnecessary items” like backpacks, bags and lawn chairs. Driving will be next to impossible.

Check out our full coverage of the road closures and restrictions in Victoria here.

The City of Vancouver says some roads around Canada Place and Vanier Park will be closed for the Royal motorcade on Sunday afteroon. Police advise that Royal watchers take advantage of public transit, as driving and parking will be difficult while the couple is in the city.

More information on Vancouver road closures and predicted delays is available here.
