Montréal to host Canada–EU Summit October 29–30

Montréal will host a Canada–European Union summit on October 29 and 30, according to a federal media advisory issued October 2.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to welcome European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for the two-day meeting.

The advisory was primarily issued to open media accreditation and does not set out the summit agenda, venues or public-access arrangements. It says journalists seeking accreditation must apply by midnight on October 26 and notes that accreditation does not guarantee access to every event.

For Montréal residents, the confirmed information at this stage is limited to the summit dates and city. Any transportation or security impacts should be treated as unconfirmed until officials publish operational details.
