New UK Consul Sees Calgary’s Charm | Calgary News

New U.K. Consul-General Rob Fitzpatrick is settling into Calgary with his family, calling the city’s stunning sunrises and vibrant culture “spectacular.” After a whirlwind five-day Stampede visit—recommended by his predecessor for its unparalleled networking—he’s already smitten with Alberta’s charm and eager to launch his four-year mission. With experience from Cameroon, Afghanistan, and Nigeria, Fitzpatrick sees Calgary as the perfect base to deepen UK-Canada ties across trade, tech, science, and defense—without commenting on Canadian politics. His goal? To help Brits better understand the prairie provinces and build even stronger bonds across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
