About This Event

Join the CIC Toronto for a panel exploring civic responsibility, ethical dilemmas, and the human impact of global aid decisions.

The Canadian International Council's Toronto Branch is delighted to invite you to a panel discussion on the role citizens play in strengthening democracy in a new and turbulent world order marked by paradigm shifts in multilateral cooperation, international development assistance, geopolitical rivalry, trade tensions, and political unrest.

Join us as we explore the practical, civic, and ethical lenses of engaging with each other to advance our shared dignity, prosperity, security and well-being, both at home and abroad.
