Organized by the NATO Association of Canada, in partnership with the Canada-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce, Embassy of Ukraine in Canada, Consulate General of Ukraine in Toronto, Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, and Mriya Aid, the one-day conference brings together influential voices from across sectors to examine the challenges and opportunities shaping Ukraine’s path forward.

This timely event will explore the future of Ukraine’s NATO membership, the viability of intermediary security guarantees, and the on-the-ground realities for businesses operating in or looking to invest in Ukraine. It will also address the critical role of demining efforts as a foundation for post-war recovery and sustainable reconstruction focusing on:  

• The importance of NATO membership for Ukraine both in terms of ensuring its sovereignty & in rebuilding the country to ensure a prosperous future for Ukraine as part of Europe.

• What intermediary security guarantees could look like and what impact they would have on investments and reconstruction; what this would mean for Canadian businesses.

• The importance of securing the ground through demining.
