Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris met with the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Ontario.

 

Toronto, Canada, November 2nd, 2017 – During the afternoon of Tuesday, October 31st, 2017, on the sidelines of the Toronto Global Forum where he had the high-profile task earlier in the day of introducing a forum on climate-resilient infrastructure, Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris met with the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Ontario.
 
At the meeting, which took place in the Lieutenant Governor’s Suite at Queen’s Park, Toronto, the seat of the government of Ontario, the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell expressed her pleasure in having the opportunity to engage on issues of mutual concern with the Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis.  They discussed wide-ranging topics, including   
hurricane relief and rebuilding in St. Kitts and Nevis and the wider Caribbean region.
 
Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, who is the Crown`s representative in Ontario, has a long and distinguished public service career spanning the provincial, federal and international levels.
 
Importantly, the Lieutenant Governor has deep experience in matters of the environment, having served as the head of Canada`s Atmospheric Environment Service as well as Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations.  It is this background which made the meeting especially significant for the Honourable Prime Minister.  Earlier in the day,  Dr. Harris made a clarion call to delegates of the Toronto Global Forum, urging them to rally around the hurricane recovery and rebuilding efforts in the Caribbean and elevate climate change to the top of the international agenda.
 
Prime Minister Harris exchanged gifts with the Honourable Lieutenant Governor and signed the guest book on behalf of the Government and people of St. Kitts and Nevis.
