"Hosting culminates in a leaders' summit, where heads of government gather to take stock of the world's main challenges. That often ends with a communiqué that sets the tone for other industrialized democracies, and can shape global policies at the United Nations.
Canada joined the group in 1976 and this year will be chairing its meetings for the seventh time. Ottawa plans to host the leaders' summit June 15 to 17 in Kananaskis, Alta.
Canada is also known for the University of Toronto's G7 Research Group, an independent project keeping tabs on whether countries stick to the commitments they agreed to through the G7.
Russia was a member of the group from 1997, making it the G8, until the other members expelled Moscow in 2014 for invading Ukraine."
