Governor General of Canada visits Los Angeles Back

            We were honored to cater two important evenings hosted by the Consulate General of Canada in which "His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada" visited Los Angeles. It was especially momentous as this was "the first time a Governor General of Canada has visited the West Coast of the United States." On Monday 4.28.14, the occasion was the "Order of Canada and Friends of Canada Reception," and Tuesday was an important address to key Canadian and American business leaders at the annual Canadian CEO dinner on the occasion of the Milken Institute Global Conference. It was "an opportunity for the Governor General to interact with conference attendees and to promote trade and investment between our two countries."       Follow the link below to read the Governor General's speech:  http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=843799
