LUNCHEON: Fireside Chat with US Ambassador to Canada

As we enter the post pandemic phase, the socioeconomic and geopolitical realities nationally and internationally continue to shift and impact the way our economy performs. Halifax is coming out of the pandemic quickly with growth accelerating and employment improving but, what does the near-term future hold for us economically, what is the new reality for our business community?  

We invite you to join us for a fireside discussion with the US Ambassador to Canada, David L. Cohen. As the Ambassador to Canada, Ambassador Cohen has a unique perspective on U.S.-Canadian relations, policies, and the needs of the American business community.

Ambassador David L. Cohen

Before his appointment by President Biden and unanimous confirmation by the U.S. Senate as U.S. Ambassador to Canada, David L. Cohen served as Senior Advisor to the CEO at Comcast Corporation as of January 1, 2020.
