Canadian International Council

The Canadian International Council, Global Canada and CanWaCH invite you to have your say in the development of Canada's  foreign policy.

These four events will be test runs of the deliberations that we are organizing for a microcosm of all Canadian citizens in February 2021. Extensive expert consultations throughout Fall 2020 produced policy proposals on four fundamental objectives in Canada’s foreign policy: Health, Security, Prosperity and Dignity. Participants will receive a discussion guide for their preferred topic and will be invited to deliberate with other citizens in an online session run by the Stanford University Center for Deliberative Democracy.Event 1: Halifax (Security) Wednesday January 13 6:30 pm local, 5:30 ESTEvent 2: Toronto (Dignity) Thursday January 14 7:00 pm EST Event 3: Prince George (Global Public Health) Friday January 15 noon local, 3:00 pm ESTEvent 4: Calgary (Prosperity) Monday January 18 2:30 pm local, 4:30 pm EST<h3>About</h3>The CIC | The mandate of the Canadian International Council is to give citizens a voice in global affairs.
