Today, I’ll be chatting with Greg Quinn, the Acting British Consul General Calgary and former British Consul General Toronto. Born and raised in Portadown in County Armagh during the Troubles, Greg has a unique story to tell. 


I met Greg at the Toronto Irish Film Festival following a screening of the wonderful documentary, Young Plato. We got chatting and I told him that at the University of St. Michael’s College, we were putting together a panel to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Belfast Good Friday Agreement. I asked Greg if he would like to be on the panel and to my eternal gratitude, he agreed and provided some fantastic insights on the night. 


This chat is a bit more personal and I hope you enjoy it.
