Former United States president Barack Obama is scheduled to speak on global citizenship at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on September 29.

The lunchtime event is hosted by Canada 2020, a non-profit,  Ottawa-based think-tank.

It will be Obama’s second visit to Canada since leaving the White House. Last June he spoke about local and global political engagement to a crowd of 6,000 in Montreal.

In his Montreal speech, Obama did not mention Trump by name but spoke about the ” temporary absence of American leadership” on climate change.

Obama is expected to answer questions from a moderator after his Toronto speech.
