About the Fellowship
The Halifax Peace With Women Fellowship is a three-week executive tour for senior active-duty female military officers. The tour began on October 25 and concludes this weekend at the 10th annual Halifax International Security Forum. Fellows visited Washington DC, Silicon Valley, Toronto and Waterloo, and Ottawa before concluding the program in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Fellows met with government, military, and thought leaders as they travelled through the political and technological capitals of the United States and Canada to deepen their understanding of American and Canadian strategic challenges, as well as the cutting-edge technologies transforming the realities of national security.
