The Simons Foundation Canada actively promotes positive change through education in peace, disarmament, international law and human security.
The threat of intentional or accidental use of nuclear weapons, the potential arms race in the environmentally sensitive Arctic, the weaponization of space and the threat of genocide are grave challenges of peace and security today and the current primary focus of The Simons Foundation.
Since 1985, The Simons Foundation has initiated, encouraged, and participated in research and the dissemination of knowledge in the issues of nuclear disarmament, space security, Arctic security, the prevention of genocide and disarmament education.
