Lindsay Canadian Club’s November meeting to focus on Canada’s international support for democracy

The Lindsay Canadian Club invites the community to attend its second event of the 2024-2025 season, taking place on Wednesday Nov. 13, 2024.

Jane Cooper and Rhonda Gossen will be exploring the subject of  “Canada’s international support for democracy: Are we stepping forward or stepping back?”

Cooper is a researcher who has worked with international development organizations and is author of What Ukrainian Elections Taught Me About Democracy. Gossen is a former Canadian diplomat and Canadian International Development Agency manager, a consultant to the United Nations, and author of The Twelfth of February: Canadian Aid for Gender Equality during the Rise of Violent Extremism. Together, they will be leading a conversation on Canada’s support for democratic processes abroad – with a focus on cases in Pakistan and Ukraine.

The LCC meets at the Royal Canadian Legion (12 York Street, Lindsay). Attendees are encouraged to grab a bite to eat downtown before coming to events, which get underway at 7:00 p.m. after a half-hour social time starting at 6:30 p.m.
