In this series of free talks, hear from experts on a variety of topics to bring you new perspectives on Cold War themes and events.

Topics will include the interplay between security and sovereignty priorities, various socio-economic and political impacts of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line, and the Canadian Rangers as a uniquely Canadian form of military service in remote Northern regions.
