Engage With Purpose

Exigent missions are extended by invitation and careful review. If you are interested in joining a mission, nominating a candidate, or supporting our work, there are meaningful ways to engage.

Our missions bring select Canadians—media, educators, and civic and policy leaders—to the Middle East for immersive, firsthand exposure. Participants return equipped to contribute to public understanding with context, proportion, and direct knowledge.
