The Baton will witness moments of celebration, visit local schools and explore iconic landmarks.
From the Caribbean, the Baton will spend four days in Canada, arriving on 26 May 2022, before visiting Gibraltar.
The 16th official Queen’s Baton Relay is an epic journey across the Commonwealth, with The Queen’s Baton visiting all 72 nations and territories, reaching Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, the Caribbean and the Americas.
