AmbCanada – CIPS Conference
Finding Canada’s Place in a Disordered World
University of Ottawa, May 12, 2025
A key aim of AmbCanada is to promote public understanding of the importance of diplomacy, and of the vital contributions of Canada’s foreign service. In hosting its first ever foreign policy conference on “Finding Canada’s Place in a Disordered World” in partnership with UOttawa, we created a platform for the voices of experienced retired diplomats, public servants and academics at a critical moment for Canada. Former Ambassador and current Senator Boehm’s summation of those conversations showcases their expertise cogently and concisely. We would like to express our appreciation to him, to the panellists, and to the UOttawa team for all they did to make this initiative happen.
