After a year of hard work, on June 29 the CIC will be releasing a report on Foreign Policy by Canadians, which will include all the findings and insights the exercise has generated. Following the report, CIC Toronto will host a panel discussion to break down the findings in the Human Dignity section.

Our expert panel will include Nic Moyer, Lauren Dobson-Hughes and Beth Woroniuk. It will be hosted by CIC Board member Maureen O’Neil, O.C. Following a discussion by the panel, there will be a Q&A session for audience members to further examine the findings.

We hope you will join us.
