Where we work: Atlantic Canada

In Atlantic Canada we work with partners that support peace, justice and educational opportunities for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Our partners create a valuable space for learning, engagement, dialogue and friendship.

Located at the Tatamagouche Centre in Nova Scotia, the Peace & Friendship project raises awareness and enables healing through Peace & Friendship gatherings. Last year, MCC supported the construction of a traditional long house for ceremonial gatherings.
