Canadian Race Relations Foundation
- Canadian Race Relations Foundation
Canadian Race Relations Foundation is a Canadian government agency responsible to
foster racial harmony and cross-cultural understanding and help to eliminate racism.
The foundation was opened in November 1997, after receiving royal assent on February 1, 1991. The Foundation operates at "arms length" from the government and is a registered charity. The Foundation is lead by a board of directors appointed by the federal government as selected by the Prime Minister's Office by recommendations from the Secretary of State (Multiculturalism). The agency was formed as a result of an agreement between the federal government and the National Association of Japanese Canadians called the Japanese Canadian Redress Agreement which acknowledged that the treatment of Japanese Canadians during and after World War II was unjust and violated principles of human rights.
