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 Prince George: An inside look at Canada-US defence relations

February 19 @ 11:30 am - 2:00 pm PST

On Thursday, February 19th from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm, the Prince George branches of the Canadian International Council, and the Legion (branch 43) will host retired Major General Michel-Henri St-Louis for an in depth discussion on Canada-US defence relations.

MGen Michel-Henri St-Louis (Retired), the former Canadian Defence Attaché to the United States, will give us his views on relations between the U.S. and Canadian militaries in a time of strained political relations with a very key ally. Furthermore, after leaving Washington and prior to arriving in Victoria, he was appointed as the Director General responsible for planning for the Defence of Canada, a role that placed him at the centre of national security policy and continental defence modernization. His talk will offer a glimpse into the inner workings of Canada-U.S. defence relations, plans for the defence of Canada and the overall continental defence modernization efforts of the Canadian Armed Forces.
