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.

What is the state of the balance between security and privacy in Canada?

Welcome to this month’s CIC Salon, our partnership with the Saskatoon Club in which we provide a glimpse into current research in a more casual forum. An earlier time, no meal, no pressure, just gathering around to witness some cutting edge international research.

In this month’s salon, join us as Harrison Baile presents recent insights from his Masters research in a talk entitled “”Privacy in the Digital Age: techo-securitization and Just Surveillance”.

In the digital age, information and surveillance is everywhere. The linkages between privacy, technology, and security are changing every day. This presentation will review the concepts of techno-securitization, the idea of just surveillance, and privacy in the digital age.

This amazing talk is of great interest, not to be missed.
