The Gordon Foundation is delighted to be partnering with the Mosaic Institute, whose work is largely focused on exploring and promoting these pressing issues. Launched in 2007, the Mosaic Institute works with Canada’s ethnocultural communities to advance Canadian solutions and promote peace and development in conflict ridden or underdeveloped parts of our world. Both the Gordon Foundation and the Mosaic Institute believe that Canada’s diversity can and should be harnessed to improve the content and reach of Canada’s foreign policy; that the diversification of our population through decades of conscious effort and ambitious public policies—while valuable in and of itself— should also make a difference to the way Canada relates and responds to the rest of the world. In particular, we believe that Canada’s ever-growing diversity uniquely positions it to play a significant role in helping to broker regional disputes and promote the practice of good government around the globe in a way that our traditional Anglo-French heritage alone does not.
