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.

In-person/on-line event

 

Speakers:

Dr Maurice Labelle is an associate professor of History at the University of Saskatchewan and director of the USask’s International Studies program. He specializes in the relational histories of Arab decolonization, post-colonialism, and entanglements between the Middle East and North America. He will explore the history of Israeli-Palestinian conflict which turned, following Hamas’ brutal October 7 2023 massacre of nearly 2,000, into what Amnesty International declares is the Israeli government’s program of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

 

Dr Deirdre Nunan is an orthopaedic surgeon with the equivalent of 2 years of trauma medical treatment at Nasser Hospital in Gaza City since 2019. She has spoken to a wide range of audiences about her first-hand experience working with victims of Israel’s ‘concentrated and intentional’ violence. Questions and answers will follow. CIC-Saskatoon is proud to work with Amnesty International to offer this to you as a hybrid event.

 

CIC provides the Zoom feed for this event.
