If you are fortunate enough to yell “trick or treat” at Consul General Claire Kennedy’s door this , you will be rewarded with some special Canadian sweet treats! Coffee Crisp has been a Canadian favourite for decades. The coffee-flavoured, chocolate-covered wafer became a Canadian original in 1939 and quickly grew into one of the country’s most recognizable treats. As the label says, it’s “too good to share with the rest of the world”. Claire also has a supply of iconic Smarties. Unlike the candy known by the same name in the U.S., Canadian Smarties are candy-covered chocolaty deliciousness and are made with 100% natural flavours and colours. Both these confections are made by Nestlé Canada, alongside other classics like KitKat and Aero. We wish all a spooktacular Halloween weekend and hope that you receive all YOUR favorite treats.

What brings Toronto and Chicago together? Innovation, creativity, community, and the people who build connections between our cities.

This week, Consul General Claire Kennedy was proud to join the Toronto-Chicago Sister City Committee, community leaders, artists, and partners at the Monique Meloche Gallery to celebrate 35 years of the sister city relationship and the vibrant cultural ties that connect our two cities.

The evening featured "The Noise Will Sound" by acclaimed Canadian artist Brendan Fernandes, whose work exemplifies the powerful role of art in fostering dialogue and connection. It was also an opportunity to recognize Monique Meloche, a Chicago-based but proudly Canadian curator and gallery owner who has helped shape the contemporary arts landscape for more than two decades. The exhibition will be open through October 24.

Events like these demonstrate how cultural exchange strengthens relationships and creates lasting bonds between Canada and the United States. Thank you to all who helped make the evening such a success.

On behalf of all Canadians, Prime Minister Carney congratulates Anne Carson on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature – one of the world’s highest literary honours.

A poet, essayist, translator, and classicist, Ms. Carson has reimagined the classics with wit, imagination, and a style entirely her own. Drawing on ancient traditions with bold imagination and originality, her work has inspired writers and captivated readers around the world.

Today, we are all proud to celebrate this extraordinary achievement.
