A senior government official is visiting Lethbridge, Alberta, today, March 12, 2026, to give two public talks at the University of Lethbridge about international affairs. These presentations are open to everyone in the community and offer local residents a chance to hear directly from a high-ranking leader about Canada’s role in the world.
The speaker, David Morrison, was recently named as a top advisor to Prime Minister Mark Carney. On March 4, 2026, the federal government announced that Morrison would move from his role as a Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, to become Senior Diplomatic and International Affairs Advisor to the Prime Minister.
The event today consists of two separate talks where Morrison is expected to share his insights on global policy. Because his job change happened around a week ago, this visit provides a rare look at the country’s foreign policy from someone working closely with the top levels of government.
Morrison has worked as a senior diplomat for several years and is known for his experience with international trade and global summits. His appearance on campus allows the public to learn more about the complex issues facing the country today.
