About Events

The RCMI Events Programme continues in our temporary home at the Albany Club pending the opening of our new premises in 2013.


Original research and educational programs are conducted by the Institute, through its Library and Museum Collections and its Security Studies initiatives. These activities engender contacts with other leading Canadian organizations in the fields of military, strategic and international affairs. The results allow members and the public to better understand the needs of the government and the military on defence and security issues.

Members are privileged to receive background briefings and updates from senior Canadian and foreign leaders on military and foreign affairs, relating to Canada’s place in the world. The Institute conducts an active program of events, for which a charge is made to defray expenses. These include:
 

Speaker Events

The Institute has regular Speaker Events, over a dinner, where senior Canadian and foreign leaders and Canadians with exceptional experience or stature provide "background briefings and updates" on current military and foreign affairs.

Military History Nights

The Institute organizes a regular series of fascinating, entertaining and educational as part of its Military History Nights series. As part of the Institute's public outreach activity, Miilitary History Nights are open free of charge to members and non-members alike.

Defence Studies Committee Roundtables and Luncheons

The Institute has periodic Roundtable discussions presented by the Defence Studies Committee. These forums are designed to allow attendees to actively participate in the discussion of a current military topic, and are followed by an optional light soup and sandwich luncheon. Similar discussions may be held in a more formal setting over luncheon
