Upcoming Talks Sunday 18 October 2026 “After 77 years - a new NATO?” presented by Susan Pond For 7 decades the US has played a key leadership role in the Alliance. In addition to reaffirming commitment to Article 5, the recent summit focused on Ukraine, 5 % defence spending and a new defence industrial base. But will current US NATO policy force a new NATO approach to meet emerging security risks? Susan Pond, former senior Canadian woman on the International Staff at NATO HQ for the past two decades will bring her considerable experience and expertise to answer this question. Sunday 15 November 2026 “The Search for the Northwest Passage” presented by Syd Dumaresq Syd Dumaresq, a prominent local architect and amateur historian, has recently cruised Canada’s fabled Northwest Passage. In his presentation, he will relate its history, the numerous explorers who sought it over three centuries and their relations with the Inuit. In doing so, he will provide his personal experience and impressions of the modern-day cruise ship passage. All talks are held at Ocean Swells Community Centre in Northwest Cove, starting at 2.30pm. |
