Chow says at a time of “historic uncertainty,” reliable trade partners have never been more important, adding the trip is part of the city’s economic action plan to respond to U.S. tariffs. 

The mayor has meetings scheduled with the Ireland-Canada Business Association, Enterprise Ireland executives and the UK-Canada Chamber of Commerce.

She is also scheduled to participate in bilateral meetings with Dublin Lord Mayor Ray McAdam and London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan.
