What a spectacular evening of music with global operatic icon @GeraldFinley who returned to Ottawa to perform in the 50th anniversary season of @13StringsOttawa chamber orchestra. A true homecoming under the baton of Matthew Larkin at St Matthew’s in the Glebe - bravo!

The following evening Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe gave a warm tribute to Christopher, proclaiming it “Christopher Deacon Day” in #Ottawa. This preceded a wonderful concert in Christopher’s honour featuring works of Beethoven, including a virtuosic performance by @langlang.

Truly enjoyed the events to celebrate the career of Christopher Deacon @orchristra as he prepares to retire as CEO of @CanadasNAC. Thanks to @mraillet Ambassador of @franceaucanada for hosting a reception with special guests Alexander and Zoe @ShelleyConduct. (1/2)

A “bucket list” experience to see @EricClapton live at #MadisonSquareGarden. A great concert - singer and guitarist extraordinaire!

The second concert of the @HewittJSB #TrasimenoMusicFestival featured 3 amazing talents, Angela along with William Bracken and Carter Johnson. Held at the stunning venue of the Castle of the Knights of Malta in #Magione, Eric Friesen moderated the pre-concert talk.

An outstanding performance tonight of the Goldberg Variations by @HewittJSB to successfully launch the 20th #TrasimenoMusicFestival. The stunning venue was the Basilica di San Pietro in #Perugia (Umbria). Bravo Angela!

@MarkJCarney Thank you @MarkJCarney - completely agree and also feel it’s a sign of disrespect.

This is carrying the ‘joke’ too far: the casual disrespect, the poor tax math, and ignoring that workers on both sides of our border will be better off if we work together. Time to call it out, stand up for Canada, and build a true North American partnership 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇲🇽

A great evening at the residence of @UKScottFW @UKinCaribbean to celebrate the culmination of the latest @biztradegovuk mission to #Barbados. Great support from Invest Barbados and Senators Chad Blackman @BajanDiplomat and Lisa Cummins.

A privilege to celebrate with my mother Loretta on her 90th birthday - an amazing accomplishment! #90YearsYoung #StillGoingStrong

I enjoyed a fond farewell luncheon this week with Her Excellency @LilianCGAC @CanHCBarbados as she retires from @GAC_Corporate and returns to #Canada. Thank you for your service - we will miss you in #Barbados. 🇨🇦 🇧🇧

Highlights of the @FIAFarnborough this week included a reception with @RalphGoodale @CanadianUK, meeting @Astro_Rosemary of @esa, and leading our delegation of 50+ @KPMG from 12 countries in our key events including the launch of kpmg.com/xx/en/home/ins…

The @KPMG_Canada #AerospaceAndDefence team was pleased to sponsor the @the_oac opening #FIA reception at the @RoyalAutomobile Club with thanks to @FP_Champagne, @VictorFedeli, @pablorodriguez and Pierre Pyun of @Bombardier for their messages of support for the industry.

Bonne Fete Nationale - with thanks to Ambassador @mraillet and @franceaucanada for a wonderful #BastilleDay2024 party on the grounds of the residence in #Ottawa.

Thanks to High Commissioner @LilianCGAC and the @CanHCBarbados team for an enjoyable evening to celebrate #canadaday2024. Honoured guests included #Barbados President Sandra Mason, Foreign Minister Kerrie Symmonds and US Ambassador Roger Nyhus. @KPMG was proud to be a sponsor.

A very special evening spent on @USCG tall ship Eagle where Ambassador Roger Nyhus @USEmbassyBtown hosted the #IndependenceDay2024 party - #Barbados style! Great to meet the dedicated cadets of the @USCGAcademy as they embark on their shipboard training. #HappyFourth

An amazing week in #Malta 🇲🇹 at the @KPMG Islands Group partner conference. Full of history, hospitality and hoping to go back soon to learn more about the local culture.

Resending to ensure the “real” @_MarkSutcliffe is recognized!

A perfect day to enjoy the #GreatGlebeGarageSale with family including my soon to be 90 year old mom who was volunteering at her church. And we also enjoyed a visit from the mayor @MarkSutcliffe, just before he runs the #marathon tomorrow - good luck! #OttawaRaceWeekend
