This work is the sixth publication overseen by the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada. Established in 2014, the Institute has grown from an informal network that gathered for the first time in 2005 at the University of Torontos Massey College. The inaugural meeting convened a diverse array of people from a variety of backgrounds, each interested in promoting knowledge and understanding of Canadas constitutional monarchy. The head of the College at the time, John Fraser, was founding president of the Institute. It has expanded beyond the confines of a small graduate college to encompass writers, practitioners, and scholars across Canada and in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

With its mission to enhance understanding of Canadas federal and provincial constitutional arrangements, and in particular the role of the Crown in Canada, the Institute commissions studies, papers, and conferences that examine the constitutional, historical, and institutional reality of the Crown. It seeks alliances, associations, or liaison status with viceregal offices, appropriate public policy and governance institutes, Indigenous organizations, academic and general publishers, and parallel institutions in other countries with similar constitutional arrangements. The Institute is a resource for further studies in this area, as well as making available recognized scholars and other spokespersons in the field of constitutional monarchy.

The work contained herein is that of the authors alone and should not be interpreted as official policy or statements on behalf of the government departments, agencies, or other organizations that the authors are currently or previously have been in the employ of.

A Resilient Crown: Canadas Monarchy at the Platinum Jubilee draws on the expertise and experience of a number of scholars and practitioners in the domain of the Canadian Crown constitutional, Indigenous, viceregal, historical, and personal. We express our appreciation to all of them for their stimulating contributions to and involvement in this publication. We are also grateful to a number of generous donors for their support of the Institute and for helping to make this project possible; notably, the Honourable Margaret McCain, CC, ONB, twenty-seventh lieutenant governor of New Brunswick, and the Honourable Henry N.R. Jackman, OC, OOnt, CD, twenty-fifth lieutenant governor of Ontario.

We also gratefully acknowledge the team at Dundurn Press for their understanding and support for a project involving multiple authors and demanding timelines. We particularly thank Scott Fraser, president and publisher; Kathryn Lane, associate publisher; Elena Radic, managing editor; Sara DAgostino, contracts, rights, and administration manager; Laura Boyle, art director; and cover designer Karen Alexiou.

Dundurn Press are to be commended for their promotion of Canadian authors in many diverse fields, among them that of the Canadian Crown. Several of those involved in the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada have reason to be grateful to Dundurn for publishing their work. It is the editors hope that AResilient Crown will be a worthy addition to the literature on Canadas constitutional monarchy and a fitting tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her Platinum Jubilee.
