We are fundraising to open the Canadian Peace Museum in Bancroft, Ontario in 2025. We are a Canadian registered charity.

By global standards, Canada is an exceptionally peaceful country. And yet hatred, extremism, polarization and violence are all trending upwards.
Globally the number of conflicts and the volume of deaths from them is rising. Peace promotion is urgent. Locally and internationally.
We cannot talk about peace without considering what encourages it and what damages it.
We will address themes of equity, art, activism, planetary health, community cohesion and reconciliation. We will display artefacts that show the links between these themes.
Canada has a rich history of peace promotion. It is also a nation with a violent past and inequities that continue to this day. We can and should learn from success and failures.
Peace museums exist throughout the world, but Canada still does not have one. Now is the time to promote peace at home and globally. With your help, we can launch the Canadian Peace Museum.
