Canadian Consul General Marc LePage will talk about U.S.-Canada trade opportunities at a Hawai'i Global Links Forum next month sponsored by the Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism, in partnership with the Pacific and Asian Affairs Council.

The forum will run 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. July 1, in the first floor conference room of the Hawai'i State Art Museum. LePage will present an overview of the Canadian economy and discuss trade relations between Canada and Hawai'i.

"Canada has become an increasingly important visitor segment for Hawai'i, and significant trade opportunities have opened up between Hawai'i and Canada, especially with the strengthening of the Canadian dollar," said DBEDT Director Theodore E. Liu. "Hawai'i business interests should take a hard look at the opportunities in Canada."
