On Monday June 16, Governor General Mary Simon will host a dinner for leaders participating in the G7 Summit outreach session.
That session is for national leaders and representatives from international organizations to broaden the scope of discussions and build consensus on pressing global issues.
Secure location:
The G7 is being held at the Kananaskis Mountain Lodge — southwest of Calgary, in the Rocky Mountains far from big cities.
