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: Pulse-a-palooza! A Celebration of International Year of Pulses 2016

October 5, 2016 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm EDT

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has designated 2016 as the International Year of Pulses (IYP).

Pulses (peas, beans, lentils, chickpeas) are an important international issue, saving lives: they are the primary protein source for the majorities of people in developing countries.

Saskatchewan has been playing an ever-larger role in feeding pulses to the world, currently providing 30 to 40% of global pulses.

In honour of the International Year of Pulses 2016, please join with us as we follow both of these stories.
