National Security Dialogues
The CDA Institute is launching a series of public engagements across the country rolling out in spring of 2025. The objective of these events is to bring together academics, policy makers, community leaders, the business community, and other key stakeholders to deepen their understanding of Canada’s National Defence and Security.
We aim to foster a well informed and engaged community that recognizes the importance of discussing national defence and security issues. By fostering dialogue among diverse stakeholders, we seek to highlight the strategic significance of having a ready and well equipped Canadian Armed Forces to protect Canada’s national interests.
This is a meaningful opportunity to engage in high-level discussions about ensuring Canada’s national security, sovereignty, and future in a rapidly shifting international security environment.
We are looking for partner associations, individual volunteers, and student ambassadors from coast to coast to assist in the setup of events in their communities.
