The Canadian International Peace Project is an independent, non-partisan organization made up of organizations and individuals of diverse backgrounds dedicated to promoting peace, development and security locally, nationally and internationally.
The Project was launched in December, 2001, in response to the tragic events of September, 2001 and the resulting consequences in our communities. It became patently clear that there was a great need for credible, meaningful and non-partisan Canadian leadership on issues of peace security and development locally, nationally and internationally.
Canadians are expected to provide leadership on global issues as a result of our unique composition as a country and our special status in the international community. The Canadian International Peace Project provides credible and critical leadership on issues as the organization deals with issues employing holistic and inclusive approaches.
Notwithstanding that our organization was launched in December, 2001, it has already attracted unprecedented attention because of our approach to issues, our philosophy and our accomplishments to date. Already we have been able to provide not only critical education, but tangible assistance and support to the Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and other communities.
