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 Victoria: Canada and the Changing World Order

May 19 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm PDT

This event will bring together students from the RRU Master of Global Management program, students from the Management Center Innsbruck, Austria and students visiting from Ghana.  In addition, we have space for 25 CIC Victoria members to attend.

The event will include the following presentation:

Canada and the Changing World Order

The geopolitical challenges today are seemingly endless. Indeed, from Ottawa to Washington, Moscow, Beijing, Kyiv, Tehran and beyond, countries are burning the midnight oil as they seek a way out of the turbulent times we live in. In particular, as Canadians are rethinking their nation’s role on the world stage, the presentation will focus on whether or not the time is right for Canada to produce a new national security strategy?

After the presentation, and in small groups composed of students and CIC members, there will be time to discuss questions posed by the organizers about what options countries have to best navigate the current state of world affairs. The final portion of the afternoon will see a representative from each group providing a short summary of the ideas raised at their table to all of the participants.

In the past, our events at RRU have been noteworthy on several accounts. Indeed, many of the students are visiting Canada for the first time and greatly value the opportunity to meet with our members (and our members also enjoy welcoming newcomers). Second, the opportunity of being able to hear a diversity of opinions from such an international audience cannot be underestimated.
