About the Foundation

The Canadian Landmine Foundation is Canada’s foremost awareness building and fundraising organization for landmine action. Officially introduced by The Hon. Lloyd Axworthy on June 28, 1999, the Canadian Landmine Foundation (CLMF) is governed by a Chairman and a Board of Directors comprised of prominent Canadians from across the country.  For more than a decade it has been supporting the removal of landmines and helping landmine victims across the world.  Its work has covered five continents, from Colombia to Croatia to Cambodia, and every year we find new projects to support.

The Canadian Landmine Foundation is a registered charity with a mission to raise awareness and funds to end the human and economic suffering caused by anti-personnel landmines.  The Foundation has a strong history of building significant partnerships for mine action and of reminding Canadians of the international leadership provided by the Government of Canada.  It was a founding partner in the global Adopt-A-Minefield Campaign, though has since moved on to other campaigns.

The Foundation operates in partnership with the University of Winnipeg and the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies and is grateful for their assistance.  They provide administrative assistance and valuable office space free of charge.
