Peoria Area World Affairs Council: October 5th – a day of events held at the Bradley University Student Center and the Hayden- Clark Alumni Center.

Canada and the U.S. are each other’s most important trading partners.  How does this color our shared histories and approach to challenges in the global economy, politics and security in a rapidly evolving world order?

Chris Gunning, Winnipeg Consul for the U.S. Department of State, will speak on Monday, October 5, 2015.  Canada is America’s largest trade partner, and Gunning will discuss the business and political relationships between the two countries.  A reception and networking event will begin at 4:45 PM at the Hayden-Clark Alumni Center on the Bradley University Campus.   Gunning’s remarks will begin at 5:30 PM.  The reception and networking event will include light food and a cash bar.  The cost is $10.00 per person.  The 5:30pm lecture is free for all students.
