The British High Commission in Ottawa maintains and develops relations between the UK and Canada. We work closely with the Canadian government and partners across the country to develop and maintain a wide range of substantive partnerships of real value to both countries. These partnerships cover business, defence, climate change, science and innovation, education, and culture. Our mission is to develop and promote the relevant bilateral ties between our two countries while working to resolve global threats, tackle inequality and advance our shared foreign policy, trade and defence interests, through innovative collaboration, our shared values and our people to people relationships.
