On July 31, 2017, the NATO Association of Canada proudly hosted the 2017 NATO Garden Party at the historic Campbell House in downtown Toronto. Attendees of the event included provincial and federal politicians, Toronto Consulates of NATO countries, Canadian and foreign military officers, and members of our NATO Association community. The event featured speakers Hon. Bill Graham, Canadian politician and former Chair of the NATO Association, MP Leona Alleslev, and Brigadier-General Stephen Cadden.
We were thrilled to celebrate the social and cultural ties which bind NATO countries together, and the enduring strength of the transatlantic bond.
