Canada Is Proud To Host The World

As our country continues to lead the global economic recovery, Canada is proudly hosting the world at the G-8 and G-20 Summits. Held in Muskoka and Toronto respectively, these Summits are putting Canada in the international spotlight and providing our country with an opportunity to build on our success as host of the Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. By showcasing picturesque Muskoka and cosmopolitan Toronto to the world, we are promoting Canada as a world-class tourist and convention destination.

The G-8 and G-20 Summits are providing Canada with a unique opportunity to show leadership on the world stage. We’re honoured to host the world’s most influential leaders and address the broader issues of development, democracy, peace and security and the global economy. Canada has a great economic story to tell.  We are leading the world recovery with an economic record that is stronger than other industrialized nations. Our financial system has served as a model for reforms and our fiscal situation is the envy of countries facing crippling deficits.

Canada’s international economic leadership is evident. Our Government has responded to the recession with the right policies to stimulate the economy and create jobs. We have lowered taxes, invested in infrastructure and training and boosted support for workers and families. Hosting the G-8 and G-20 Summits is giving Canada an opportunity to showcase its economic story.

The G-8 and G-20 Summits are generating international media attention for Canada. The Summits are providing our country with an opportunity to promote all that Canada has to offer and show that we are a gracious host, terrific tourist destination and prosperous country in which to live.
