Statements
The Pierre Elliott Trudeau
Foundation is an independent and
non-partisan charity established
in 2001 as a living memorial
to the former prime minister by
his family, friends, and colleagues.
In 2002, with the support of
the House of Commons, the
Government of Canada endowed
the Foundation with the Advanced
Research in the Humanities and
Human Sciences Fund.
The Foundation also benefits
from private donations. By granting
doctoral scholarships, awarding
fellowships, appointing mentors,
and holding public events, the
Foundation encourages critical
reflection and action in four areas
important to Canadians: human
rights and dignity, responsible
citizenship, Canada’s role in
the world, and people and their
natural environment.

Governance
“In an era of proliferating social media and
virtual networks, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau
Foundation made its mark on 2016 by
using face-to-face connections to empower
a community of intellectuals thirsty for
new perspectives, for public debate,
and for sharing their knowledge for the
common good.
Whether working on human rights and
dignity, citizenship in Canada and the world,
or issues of the environment, the Foundation
has appointed scholars and fellows and
has crafted events that make its themes more
vibrant than ever.”
Françoise Bertrand, 2013 mentor
“The Foundation is an enriching and
challenging intellectual community which
exposes you to Canada’s leading minds who
share a commitment to using knowledge to
improve both Canada and the world.”
Kent Roach, 2012 fellow
