Our purpose and mandate

Unlike many other countries, Canada lacks a peace museum.  While Canada ranks highly in global indices, the level of peace both at home and internationally is reducing. The need to promote peace is more urgent than ever.

Peace is not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice, fairness, good relations with neighbours. Peacefulness requires a healthy planet, healthy people, a fair society, functioning democracy and the presence of kindness.

We believe that we must cherish the levels of peace that we have, and work to advance them.
