NS, July 11, 2024 /CNW/ - Canada's Premiers will meet on July 16 and 17 at the Westin Nova Scotian Hotel

solutions for the challenges we face. This meeting will allow
Premiers to engage on the issues that matter most to
Canadians."

A closing news conference is planned for the afternoon of
July 17.
The Council of the Federation comprises all 13 provincial and
territorial Premiers. It enables Premiers to work collaboratively,
form closer ties, foster constructive
relationships among governments, and show leadership on important issues
that matter to Canadians.
