Events

The mission of the CIC is to promote an understanding of international affairs and Canada’s role in a changing world by providing Canadians with a non-partisan, nationwide forum for informed discussion, analysis and debate. Accordingly, the cornerstone of the CIC’s work is our events program. The CIC national office and our branches hold more than 150 events per year in cities across the country. In particular, our branch events give members an opportunity to directly engage with global issues that often intersect with local concerns. The CIC also supports events outside of Canada, often in partnership with other global think tanks, that can introduce Canadian perspectives to global audiences. CIC events take on many different forms, from academic lectures and panel discussions to town hall meetings and pub nights. Please consult our events calendar for a listing of CIC-organized and sponsored events.

CIC-Saskatoon: The War in Ukraine and Ukrainians in Saskatchewan

 

 

The Saskatoon branch of the Canadian International Council invites you to our next event, free of charge and open to the public, on the following important international issue:

 

TOPIC: The War in Ukraine and Ukrainians in Saskatchewan

SPEAKER: Alan Anderson

DATE: Thursday, July 09, 2026

PLACE: Saskatoon Club, 417 21st Street East, Saskatoon

TIME: 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

~~~ This is the first event of our 2026/27 program ~~~

 

 

Join us for a timely talk by the much beloved Alan Anderson. Drawing from the research for his most recent book (“Hromada: The Changing Ukrainian Community in Saskatchewan”), Alan will guide us through a number of aspects of the Russia-Ukraine War, as well as the related diaspora to Canada. Alan’s research delivers a great number of considerations that many of us haven’t thought of, much less grappled with. This is a talk that will generate a great deal of conversation, both at this event and in the days following.

 

Join us for this very special opportunity.

 

 

About our speaker:

 

Alan Anderson is a sociologist, longtime Saskatoon-based researcher, and community volunteer deeply involved in studying and supporting immigrant populations. He is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Saskatchewan and Research Affiliate at the Prairie Centre for the Study of Ukrainian Heritage. He has spent decades researching ethnic groups, immigration, and settlement patterns in Saskatchewan and Canada.

 

About his book:

Extensively-researched, yet presented in very accessible terms, Hromada: The Changing Ukrainian Community in Saskatchewan examines settlement and the evolution of Ukrainian Canadian communities in Saskatchewan from the late 19th century to the present (yes, up to and including today). The book follows how communities evolved from rural settlements into modern urban contexts, while addressing current challenges such as new immigration from Ukraine after 2022.

 

The book has been described as a study of how immigrant communities reshape “home” and identity across generations – well worth the read..

 

 

Itinerary:

6:30 p.m. Doors open

7:00 p.m. Public presentation – free and open to the public

8:30 p.m. Event concludes

 

 

We hope you can make it!

 

Yours in service,
