Library and Archives Canada, in collaboration with Global Affairs Canada, presents an international panel discussion on cultural diplomacy.

The purpose of this event is to learn about different perspectives on cultural diplomacy, and to highlight how members of the gallery, library, archives and museum (GLAM) communities can play a role in building lasting links between nations.

Participants will include representatives from embassies, international cultural and heritage organizations, national GLAMs (Canada Science and Technology Museum, Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Canadian Museum of History, Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, Canadian Museum of Nature, and National Gallery of Canada), Ms. Christine St-Pierre, former minister of culture and minister of international relations of Quebec, and keynote speaker Senator Patricia Bovey (Manitoba).
