Former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama To Deliver Speech In Montreal

The Canadian Press, 05 Feb, 2018 12:07 PM
    MONTREAL — Months after her husband delivered a speech to a sold-out crowd, it's former U.S. first lady Michelle Obama's turn to visit Montreal. 
     
    Obama will deliver a speech Monday evening and participate in a discussion with Sevrine Labelle, the president of an organization that supports female entrepreneurs.
     
    The event is organized by the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal, which also organized last year's event featuring former U.S. president Barack Obama.
     
    Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton also spoke in the city last year as part of a promotional tour for her book, "What Happened."
     
    Tickets for the event range from about $60 for the most distant seats to more than $520.
     
    Since leaving the White House, Michelle Obama has worked with her husband at their Chicago-based foundation, which aims to help citizens make a commitment to improve their society.
