Saskatoon
Dear friends,
Welcome back to the website. Special thanks to Kathryn, Naomi, Taylor, Anouk and Laura for their careful work with wrangling the electrons to keep the site going strong.
We’ve been busy. Check out upcoming events in the column to the right, and scroll waaaayyyyy down to the “View All” at the bottom of this page for more articles from our members, as well as our newsletters, current and past.
Please enjoy. If you’d like to add your insights to the site, please let us know at saskatoon@opencanada.org
February is Celebrate International Research and Development month here in Saskatoon. Special congratulations to our partner, the International Office of the University of Saskatchewan, for keeping a healthy schedule of international events happening. Check out their site and do consider taking in at least some of them.
CIC’s events are a good fit in the celebrations. If you’ve not stopped in to one of our events for a while, please consider attending one of our upcomings. It’d be great to see you – and for you to see some of the changes happening.
Next month, if the glaciers have retreated sufficiently, we’ll be looking at some interclubs to other branches. Watch this space for details.
In the meantime, keep warm, well read and independent of thought.
Let’s talk: Saskatoon@opencanada.org
Yours in service,
Daniel Sutherland
Chair – Saskatoon Branch
About
There is a magic in the prairies which encourages in its people a concern for the world and a heightened sense of political activism. CIC has provided a home to such people in Saskatoon since the inception of the branch in 1932.
Constantly transforming through the years, the branch draws its membership from many careers, generations and political stripes, providing common ground for a surprising number of communities within the region. Students, business people, community activists, researchers, politicians – all these and more gather here because of their common interest in the world, and Canada’s place within it.
The branch’s membership rosters through the years have included university presidents, provincial cabinet ministers and CBC’s own Shelagh Rogers.
Every branch across Canada is a success because of the impressive speakers they draw in for their events. CIC Saskatoon thanks its many partners, both inside and beyond the university, for its continued successes, including Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, The Hanlon Centre for International Business Studies, The Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, and the International Office, University of Saskatchewan.
