Canadian Arab Institute (CAI)

Our Mission

Policy & Research

CAI conducts studies and produces research-based public policy papers that provide insight and recommendations for the benefit of policy makers, service providers, the media and civil society. Our interests include the social, economic, political, cultural and civic spheres.

Education

Part of our work aims to educate Canadians about Canadian Arab culture, heritage, and contributions to society. We produce publications, panels, conferences and a lecture series, providing perspective on Canadian domestic and international interests.

Community Development

We engage in activities that draw on existing and cultivate emerging intellectual and professional talent in the community. This includes professional development conferences, internships, mentorships, and initiatives that highlight role models such as the Canadian Arabs to Watch program.
