Thank you to Martin Lipman for capturing another successful gala.

Geoff had the honour to have dinner last night with the President of Germany, H.E. Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender, upon their arrival to Canada for a State Visit over the next few days.

Together with Senator Ratna Omidvar, Teresa Marques and Ambassador Sabine Sparwasser, they shared a wide-ranging conversation about climate change, youth engagement, the polar regions, volunteerism, the growing partnership between our two democracies, and much more.

Does anyone recognize the book in President Steinmeier’s hands?
