The Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) was created by the Government of Canada as a Crown corporation in 1996, as part of the Japanese Canadian Redress Agreement, to reaffirm the principles of justice and equality for all in Canada. As a signatory to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, Canada has resolved to adopt all necessary measures for speedily eliminating racial discrimination in all its forms and manifestations.
The CRRF is federally mandated to raise public awareness of the causes and manifestations of racism in Canada.
