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.

If you have an idea for a CIC event, please contact us at info@thecic.org.

CIC Victoria: A historical and contemporary discussion on politics and women

March 3 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm PST

CIC Victoria members will receive registration details on 20 February for this politics in the pub event.

In this presentation we will turn back the clock to the women’s suffrage movement in Canada and the ‘Persons’ Case and we are delighted to welcome Charlotte Clar to CIC Victoria to discuss, among other things, the Famous Five – Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, Irene Parlby and Henrietta Muir Edwards, who campaigned for women to have the right to vote and the right to run for elected office.

Our speaker…

Charlotte Clar was born and raised on the traditional territory of the Lək̓ʷəŋə peoples. Today she works as the Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator at the Sidney Museum and Archives located on the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. Charlotte is a University of Victoria graduate and, as I’m sure we will find out this evening, has a strong interest in raising awareness about women’s history.
