Ontario Council for International Cooperation (OCIC)

I am looking forward to participating in the Dialogue on Canada's Indo-Pacific Stategy this week with representatives from Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada, Ontario Council for International Cooperation (OCIC) and Civil Society in Ontario. Just recently, I had the privilege to visit the region where I learned from the advance policy making and engagement decisions by Government in Asia Pacific and HelpAge Network on Long Term Care Strategies, Income Security, Climate Change and extreme weather events through the lense of Population Ageing. Looking forward to sharing those success stories in Canada!
