TORONTO - Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore will be in Toronto next month to deliver a speech about business and the environment.

Gore will speak at the 2009 Allstream Global Forum on Nov. 24 on how changes in the global economy are shaping the environment.

Gore is best known in recent years for his 2006 documentary film about climate change entitled "An Inconvenient Truth."

He won an Academy Award for the film in 2007, when he also shared a Nobel Peace Prize with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Proceeds from the Toronto event, at the Allstream Centre at Exhibition Place, will go to the David Suzuki Foundation.
