President Obama will hit Vancouver, B.C., on lecture tour
Former President Barack Obama will speak in Vancouver, B.C., on March 5, just 16 days before his spouse Michelle Obama hits Rogers Arena on the book tour for her autobiography "Becoming."
The Greater Vancouver Board of Trade will sponsor the ex-president's appearance, with tickets going on sale February 1. Cheap seats start at $199 (Canadian).
"At this moment in history, President Obama is probably the most coveted speaker in the world," Lori Mathison, chair of the Board of Trade, said in a statement.
The Board of Trade already hosted Michelle Obama last February at the Queen Elizabeth Theater as part of its "WE FOR SHE" program.
