On Friday, former U.S. president Barack Obama arrived in Toronto to deliver a keynote address at a Canadian think tank.
The 44th president is scheduled to be the main speaker at the Canada 2020 gala, taking place at the Fairmont Royal York.
During his presidency, Obama made three official trips to Canada, starting with a visit to Ottawa in 2009 to meet then-prime minister Stephen Harper.
He subsequently returned for the G8 and G20 summit meetings as well as the North American Leaders’ Summit.
This Canada 2020 event, which is closed to the media, will be Obama’s second visit to Toronto.
The think tank aims to promote policy development that fosters “a more just, inclusive and forward-thinking Canada.”
