Now is your opportunity to see the Canadian Patrol Frigate, HMCS VILLE DE QUEBEC. She is on her way to tour the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes.

Commonly referred to as “VDQ,” she is one of the Royal Canadian Navy’s most modern warships, having finished her modernization refit.

VDQ will be visiting several ports in the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario and will be in Toronto for Canada Day celebrations and Quebec City for the Tall Ships Rendezvous.
