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 National: On Zoom – Fulfilling the Promise of Canada

July 6 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT

10 am PST / 1 pm EST

In Fulfilling the Promise of Canada, a distinguished group of military, intelligence, academic, and policy thinkers examines the hard realities of an increasingly unstable world and asks what Canada must do to meet them. Covering defence policy, air power, naval strategy, reserves, special operations, foreign intelligence, Arctic security, digital vulnerability, higher education, China, Taiwan, and the future of Canada-US relations, this volume offers a wide-ranging assessment of the country’s strategic position and the choices now before it.

Urgent and forward-looking, Fulfilling the Promise of Canada argues that Canada cannot lead abroad unless it rebuilds strength, seriousness, and confidence at home. This is a book about sovereignty, competence, and national renewal, and about whether Canada is prepared to match its values with the means to defend and sustain them.

Join us as CIC Victoria branch president, Chris Kilford, and CIC Vancouver member Kaya Dupuis, engage with several of the book’s contributors including LGen (retired) Guy Thibault, author and journalist Narendra Pachkhede, Dr. Joel Sokolsky and Col (retired) Chuck Oliviero.
