Please join us in welcoming Joseph Salazar, the new U.S. Consul General in Toronto.    We'd love your recommendations: What should he experience first across Ontario?

U.S. citizens abroad should vote and send back their ballot as soon as they receive it. There are a number of options for returning completed ballots: oVia the U.S. Embassy– You or another person can drop off your ballot request / Form SF-76 Voter Registration and Absentee Ballot Request (FPCA) or completed ballot at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for return to the United States. It must be addressed to your local election officials and have sufficient U.S. postage or be in a postage-paid envelope. A ballot transmission envelope is available at: fvap.gov/eo/overview/sending…. oVia Fax, Email, or Internet – Some states permit electronic transmission of completed ballots. Consult the FVAP website for options in your state: fvap.gov. oVia Local mail – If you have a reliable mail service to the United States, put your ballot in the mail with appropriate international postage. oVia Express Courier Service – If time is short or local mail is unreliable, you can use commercial carrier services such as FedEx, DHL, or UPS at your own expense. NOTE: FedEx does not deliver to P.O. boxes.

📽️ From September 21–25, U.S. Consulate General Toronto and the American @FilmShowcase (AFS) brought film producer Kirk Saduski to Toronto for a week of masterclasses and discussions with students, faculty, and film-industry representatives at @TorontoMet, @YorkUniversity, @UofT, @History_UofT, and @Cinespacestudio. Kirk, an executive at Playtone whose work includes the acclaimed series #BandOfBrothers and John Adams, shared insights from his career on how to adapt historical material for the screen, in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary #Freedom250 this year. #AmericanFilmShowcase is a U.S. international cultural-exchange program that uses American film and filmmaking to connect U.S. filmmakers with audiences, students, educators, and creative professionals abroad. It is an initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s @ECAatState and is produced by the @USCCinema.
