(Toronto, Ontario)—The Canadian National Exhibition announced today
that President Bill Clinton will make a special visit to the CNE
to speak at BMO Field on Saturday, August 29th at 4:00 p.m.
Well known for his ability to bring consensus where there was once
conflict, and unity where divisions abound, President Clinton will speak
about Embracing Our Common Humanity. Through the
William J. Clinton Foundation, President Clinton has become a
powerful voice for progress sharing his unique insights and observations
with audiences around the world.
"It’s an honour and a privilege to welcome President Clinton," said CNE

alive in Canada’s cultural mosaic. As individuals and as a society,
Canadians recognize that the interdependence of our communities is vital
to living an enriched and rewarding life."
