Wednesday, September 06, 2017

Former U.S. president Barack Obama will speak on global citizenship in Toronto on September 29.

Hosted by Canada 2020, a non-profit, left-leaning, Ottawa-based think-tank, Obama will speak at a lunchtime event at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

It will be Obama’s second visit to Canada since leaving the White House.

Individual tickets are not available, but tables of 10 will be sold starting Tuesday, at $10,000.

Alex Paterson, a spokesman for Canada 2020, said the organization expects anywhere from 3,500 to 6,000 people to be interested in what could be “one of the biggest political events of the year.”
