Remembering Air India Flight 182
In 2007, the Government of Canada established a program to erect three new memorials and to refurbish an existing one in Ottawa so that Canadians would never forget the tragedy. The fourth and final memorial was dedicated in Montreal to remember the victims, following those dedicated in Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa. These memorials will forever stand as a reminder of the innocent lives lost during a very sad chapter in our shared history.
Kanishka Project
On June 23, 2011, the Government announced a new $10M initiative, the Kanishka Project, which, over five years, will invest in research on pressing questions for Canada on terrorism and counter-terrorism, such as preventing and countering violent extremism.
Through the Kanishka Project, funding will be provided for a range of initiatives – including conferences, publications and major research projects – that will help Canada build the knowledge base needed to effectively counter terrorism. Eligibility criteria and application methods are expected in fall 2011.
