Getting the goods on when and where the official Canadian portrait of King Charles III will hang depends on how the questions are framed.

Don Schaffer, acting chief administrative officer for the District of Sooke, said the portrait would be hung in Municipal Hall as soon as it’s available, likely after the coronation of King Charles III in May.

The B.C. Lieutenant-Governor’s office, too, will likely wait until May, and officials there suggested that Heritage Canada would be the definitive source.
