This is a free talk but you can reserve a seat by pre-purchasing a pint (tax and tip included) for $9.
As global tensions rise, Canada’s North is becoming a focal point for questions of sovereignty, security, and control. While threats through the Arctic have long been part of national defence planning, the region itself is now increasingly at the centre of geopolitical competition with powers like China, Russia and the United States taking a more active interest in the region.
This talk explores how Canada has responded to these challenges since the Second World War and how it is positioning itself today to assert sovereignty and protect its interests in a rapidly changing Arctic.
Dr. Sam Hossack is a historian and researcher specializing in the Canadian Arctic. Her work examines how governance and security have shaped the North from the 1950s to today. She is a Research Fellow with the North American and Arctic Defence and Security Network and an Associate Fellow at the Centre for Military, Security, and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary.
