  Prime Minister announces Canada to host 2010 G8 Summit in Huntsville

19 June 2008
Huntsville, ON

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced the 2010 G8 Summit will be 
held at the Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ontario.  It will be the 
fifth G8 Summit hosted by Canada since the country joined the 
prestigious international organization in 1976. The Prime Minister was 
joined at the announcement by Tony Clement, Canada's Health Minister and 
Member of Parliament for Parry Sound-Muskoka.

"Huntsville is a jewel in the Canadian Shield and an ideal location for 
this gathering of world leaders," said Prime Minister Harper. "Our 
international guests will be charmed by the uniquely Canadian beauty of 
the region and by the warm hospitality of Muskokans."

The Prime Minister emphasized the Summit will be a tremendous 
opportunity to promote Canada's values and interests on the world stage; 
to advocate for open markets and free trade; to insist on truly global 
action against global warming; and to champion freedom, democracy, human 
rights, and the rule of law. 

He also observed that Huntsville and the Muskokas will benefit from the 
significant economic activity associated with the Summit, noting the 
2002 G8 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta generated an estimated $300 
million for the regional economy.  Prime Minister Harper added that the 
international media attending the Summit would introduce millions of 
potential tourists to the many attractions of Ontario cottage country.

"The 2010 G8 Summit will provide short and long-term economic benefits 
for the region and the province, and it will be an exceptional 
opportunity for Canada to advance its values and interests on the world 
stage," Prime Minister Harper concluded.

To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based 
on the fact  that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but 
also of compassion, sacrifice,  courage, kindness. What we choose to 
emphasize in this complex history will determine  our lives. If we see 
only the worst, it destroys our capacity... And if we do act, in however 
small  a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The 
future is an infinite  succession of presents, and to live now as we 
think human beings should live, in  defiance of all that is bad around 
us, is itself a marvelous victory.- Howard Zinn
