ABOUT US

The Mackenzie Institute works to be a key research and information source on Canadian and geopolitical security matters.

About Us:

The Mackenzie Institute, an independent think tank, brings a strategic and pragmatic approach to security matters that affect both domestic and global audiences. The Mackenzie Institute brings together external independent thinking for policymakers, governments, private sector entities, and educational institutions. We propose an open forum for global conversations on the threats and security vulnerabilities we face in order to best advise these various entities.

The Mackenzie Institute is a globally recognized Canadian-based public policy institute for research and comment on issues impacting political and social stability, specifically terrorism, organized violence, and security.

Working with colleagues in the USA, The UK, Israel and other countries, we emphasize a world view on the various topics we cover. Over the last 30 years, we have worked with Canadian government institutions, private sector organizations, educational bodies and other stakeholders to provide a distinct perspective on security matters.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

Publications:

From time to time, we publish a varied collection of articles, briefing notes, commentaries, and video interviews – as well as our Security Matters magazine – that are thought provoking, insightful, and relevant.

Events:

We hold occasional and local breakfast, luncheon and dinner events, seminars, workshops, and panels presented by subject matter experts providing educational awareness and promoting an open forum discussion among attendees, policy makers, and the security world as a whole.
