2012 Annual Report: Overview

Since its creation in 2001, the Calgary-based CDFAI has set its mission to be a catalyst for innovative Canadian global engagement. In 2010, it opened an Ottawa office to reach out to parliamentarians, senior policy makers and the diplomatic service. CDFAI produces high quality public policy research related to Canadian international relations.

Our various speaker events provide opportunities for thoughtful discussions. Our website, www.cdfai.org and our 3Ds Blog have become go-to sources for those seeking informed opinion and analysis. The Institute’s research is designed to raise the level of knowledge and appreciation about issues of Canadian defence, diplomacy and international aid.

This work was recognized by the University of Pennsylvania’s 2012 survey of the go to Think Tanks around the World, ranking CDFAI 4th in Canada. The Institute’s research and policy papers are created by a strong cadre of former practitioners and academics throughout Canada.
