From Calgary to London with Jonathan Turner | Calgary News

After five years as British Consul-General in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, Jonathan Turner is packing up to return to the UK — a country transformed by Brexit and new leadership. During his tenure, he witnessed Alberta’s post-pandemic rebound, a surge in separatist sentiment, and the joy of fatherhood, all while being charmed by Alberta’s no-nonsense, “get it done” business culture. Before Calgary, he spent nearly a decade abroad, including four years in Singapore. He’s eager to reconnect with home — especially the comforting ritual of a proper English pub — while also watching with curiosity how the UK’s new Prime Minister will steer the nation. Turner’s successor, Rob Fitzpatrick, got a warm Calgary send-off, complete with Stampede tickets and oilsands tours, as Turner prepares to miss the Rockies, the river valley, and hockey — all while looking forward to the familiar comforts of home.
