Survey shows most Canadians value learning about their role in global peace, supporting the Canadian Peace Museum's mission to educate and promote peace

BANCROFT, ONTARIO, CANADA, March 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A groundbreaking survey by the Canadian Peace Museum reveals a strong Canadian desire to understand and celebrate the nation's pivotal role in global peace promotion. Canada has a long legacy, and is a leader in the promotion of peace and human rights deserving of recognition and celebration, as have the U.S., UK, Spain, Belgium, Australia, France and Germany. A recent survey conducted by the Canadian Peace Museum established that the majority of Canadians think it is important to learn about our nation’s role in promoting peace and all factors that advance and hinder peace globally and within Canada.

“The much-needed Canadian Peace Museum will be an important venue to reflect and learn about Canada’s important role in peace around the world, and to create space for learning from our mistakes, including the ongoing learning we must do as we work towards truth and reconciliation with Indigenous Nations in Canada,” says Sara Wolfe, museum board director.

A recent survey undertaken by the Canadian Peace Museum found:
-7% of Canadians (and 12% of Ontarians) are very likely to visit the Canadian Peace Museum in the next 5 years;
-65% of Canadians think that a commitment to peace is one of Canada’s main values;
-70% of Canadians think that Canada’s museums should reflect Canada’s values; and
-69% of Canadians think that it is important for Canadians to learn about how we have advanced peace throughout our history and 75% think that it is important for Canadians to learn about Canada’s mistakes that have hindered peace throughout our history.

The recent survey findings support the museum’s ambition to keep Canada peaceful and to increase peace promotion globally. The Canadian Peace Museum is currently fundraising to create a physical and digital presence to easily connect with Canadians and share accurate and truthful information through articles, interviews and exhibits.
