What the F*&k is going on?
April’s Briefing Room will focus on geopolitics, history and Canada’s role in the world. It will brief participants on Canada’s G7, how history informs political decision making and other influences on geopolitics.
The Briefing Room will provide attendees with a written brief starting off and pose three questions during the Briefing and will ask, you, the Briefing Room audience to make the strategic decision at the end of the Briefing.
The evening will be informative, engaging and fun. We aim to provide an entertaining yet useful insight into the world as we know it. The event will take place in Guelph in early April, exact date and location will be determined shortly.
