About Us
In 1985, Ottawa Mayor Marion Dewar said: "Only by celebrating our strengths and culture and our unique role in the world community can we as Canadians embrace our global opportunities and responsibilities. The Council of Canadians brings together Canadians from every region, every political philosophy, and every economic sector towards that goal." It is as true today as it was at the Council's inception. We believe a better Canada is possible.
