The International Council for Canadian Studies, in partnership with a number of Canadian universities in both Ottawa and Western Canada, now offers two five-day, multidisciplinary, international summer seminars during the month of August. In anticipation that some participants may wish to attend both Ottawa and Western seminars, the dates of both have been coordinated to make such twinned participation possible.

Format:
These annual seminars combine oral presentations by academics, practitioners and leading figures from the realm of politics, public policy or the arts, followed by question/discussion periods. The days are organized thematically on topics ranging from politics, aboriginal issues, multiculturalism, literature and the arts. The late afternoons and early evenings are spent visiting cultural or historical sites or attending cultural or social events.
Clientele
Foreign professors and graduate students with a distinct interest in Canadian Studies.
