Arctic Security Highlights

This conference was held to address the question: How can we engage Russia in the shared pursuit of pan-Arctic security, stability, and cooperation, while still holding it to account for its egregious violation of international law in invading Ukraine? The Simons Foundation Canada was a co-sponsor of the conference and Ernie Regehr, O.C., Senior Fellow in Arctic Security and Defence, was Chair of the Arctic Security panel.

This issue is debated in the current Legion Magazine with The Simons Foundation Canada's Senior Fellow in Arctic Security and Defence, Ernie Regehr, arguing the “No” side and David Bercuson, of the University of Calgary’s Centre for Military, Security, and Strategic Studies, arguing “Yes.” Regehr notes that with today’s increasingly accessible Arctic, and Russia being its most prominent military presence, the question of boosting Canada’s Arctic military operations is a prudent one, but context matters.
