Our Mission

The CIC’s mission is to provide a platform for all Canadians to engage in global affairs. As a non-partisan, charitable organization, we provide a platform for citizens to help shape our country’s place in the world. On a daily basis, our organization works towards this mission through hosting events with our 19 branches, explaining global issues through the International Journal, Behind the Headlines, and Open Canada, and developing foreign policy initiatives for leaders around the world
