  Canada in Alliance

  Maritime Partnerships in a Changing World

  Location: Delta Hotel Halifax, Halifax NS

  ​​Date: April 30, 2026

  Conference Room:  8^th Floor

  
  

  Times:

  Wednesday, April 29, 2026 - 6 to 9 PM - Welcoming Standup Reception

      Host: Naval Association of Canada

  
  

  
  

  One of Canada's greatest historical strengths has been its web of alliances and partnerships. These structures have long framed its defence policy and, today, global tensions have only increased their importance. How Canada engages with partners and how it contributes in both war and peace are therefore of vital importance.

  This one day-conference brings together defence experts, CAF personnel, and policymakers to examine Canada's part in collective security at sea. Participants will provide insight into how Canada works with partner navies and coast guards and how it operates within, and benefits from allied frameworks. The intent is to provide new insights into how Canada can leverage its position and how it can do more to contribute to global security.

  Key Objectives

  • To assess Canada's strategic value and position within allied naval operations and planning.
  • To discuss how Canada can support and reinforce allied efforts in both war and peace.
  • To identify what allies expect from Canada in terms of capabilities, support, and leadership.
  • To explore opportunities for joint innovation, interoperability, and readiness in maritime defence.
