Alberta Prime Minister Danielle Smith will greet world leaders when he arrives at Calgary Airport for the G7 summit.
Leaders are expected to begin landing during a three-day event in the Cananasnis wilderness in southwestern Calgary.
Smith's office said she plans to host representatives from non-member countries at a reception in Calgary on Monday night and hold bilateral meetings throughout the summit.
Details of the meeting and who Smith will meet are not disclosed.
The Prime Minister has made international relations a hallmark of her government.
The Alberta Prime Minister visited U.S. President Donald Trump's Florida in January, before taking office, to avoid tariffs on Canadian goods.
In April, Smith met with his political counterparts in Japan and South Korea to pave the market for Alberta's energy and food exports.

The annual group of the Seven (G7) summit brings together leaders of seven developed economies in the world: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, and the European Union.
Canada holds the group's 2025 presidency, so this year's G7 summit will be held in the Alberta Rockies in western Calgary from June 15 to 17.
As the host, Prime Minister Mark Carney can invite any leader of his choice, even leaders from countries outside the G7 club.
His guest list includes Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lulada Silva and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
