Two Alberta women added to the Senate
OTTAWA – Three new members are being added to the Senate, including the top official who organized this year’s tumultuous G7 summit in Quebec and an award-winning journalist from Edmonton.
In a statement, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the three appointees “have gained a deep appreciation and understanding of this country” through their work.
The Kitchener, Ont.-born Peter Boehm retired from the public service just last month after a career that included organizing international events and being the senior official in charge of the annual North American Leaders’ Summit.
His career culminated with a role as Trudeau’s personal representative to the G7 summit in Charlevoix, Que., last June.
