Australian Governor General Visits UBC

April 8, 2013

Governor General Australia

Australian Governor General Her Excellency Ms. Quentin Bryce

I met with Her Excellency Ms. Quentin Bryce, Governor General of Australia today during Her Excellency’s first visit to the University of British Columbia (UBC). The Governor General is visiting Canada with a delegation of Aboriginal leaders to meet with local community groups on Aboriginal economic development.

Musqueam Elder Larry Grant formally welcomed the delegation to the Musqueam traditional territory on which the University sits at the Museum of Anthropology, and the Governor General opened a roundtable discussion between Australian and Canadian Aboriginal leaders and UBC faculty members on economic development.
