Canadian Consulate General addresses North Country Last year, the Canadian consulate general in Buffalo was consolidated with the Canadian consulate in New York City. John Prato, the Canadian Consulate General based in New York City, greeted representatives of the media, local businesses, agencies, colleges and municipalities in Clinton County at the event. New York Assemblywoman Janet Duprey, Canadian Foreign Policy and Diplomacy Officer Rachael Homewood and Canadian Trade Commissioner Linda Soltis were also present. “The two-way relationship between our two countries is $742 billion,” Prato said. “That means there are 400,000 people crossing the border every day. That’s $2 billion a day.”

John Prato, the Canadian Consulate General in New York City, addressed representatives of the North Country at the North Country Chamber of Commerce on Monday, March 25.

PLATTSBURGH—Co-operation between Canadian and American economic ventures was discussed at the North Country Chamber of Commerce on Monday, March 25. In what Chamber President Garry Douglas called a “special opportunity to solidify our friendship with our partner to the north,” the meeting focused on utilizing that relationship to economically benefit both countries. “Canada is our largest trading partner, and dwarfs many of our other trading partners,” said Congressman Bill Owens, who attended the event. “This is an educational process, and it is also to our benefit because we are able to attract Canadian businesses to come into our communities.”
