Join us for a powerful and intimate evening with General (Ret’d) Wayne Eyre, Canada’s former Chief of the Defence Staff. The global security situation is rapidly evolving, and with it, the character of war. Drawing on his 40 years of service in the Canadian Armed Forces and on our military history, General (Ret’d) Eyre will discuss the confluence of stressors in the security environment, as well as how wars and warfare are changing and what this means for Canada.

The evening will include a live Q & A hosted by Canadian War Museum historian Dr. Andrew Burtch, offering audiences the opportunity to engage directly with one of Canada’s most respected military leaders.

Gen (Ret’d) Eyre retired in 2024 as Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff. As the commander of the Canadian Armed Forces and military advisor to the Prime Minister and Cabinet, he led Canada’s military through an unprecedented confluence of international and domestic crises and rapidly evolving security stressors. In his 40-year military career, he has commanded at all levels, from an infantry rifle platoon to Commander of the Canadian Army. He led numerous domestic operations in Canada, and overseas he served in Cyprus, Croatia, Bosnia, Afghanistan (twice), and South Korea, where he was the most senior Canadian officer ever stationed in the Asia-Pacific region. His institutional experience includes working in force development and as Deputy Commander of Military Personnel Command. A graduate of the US Army War College and US Marine Corps School of Advanced Warfighting, he holds a Bachelor of Science and three master’s degrees.
