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: How Does it Feel to Be a Problem? Being Muslim during the War on Terror

October 20, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm EDT

CIC-Saskatoon is honoured to partner with the Department of History to present to a Saskatoon audience the prolific and insightful words of Dr. Moustafa Bayoumi.

From calls from politicians to ban Muslims from entry to the United States to blanket surveillance by law enforcement over everyday activities, the War on Terror has fundamentally changed how Muslim minorities in North America live their lives. Drawing on years of research and writing on this topic, Moustafa Bayoumi will speak about why the fate of Muslim minorities today matters not just for Muslims but for the health of our societies generally.
