The Pearson Peacekeeping Centre is an internationally recognized
training centre for individuals and organizations involved in peace
operations.
Established in 1994 by the Government of Canada, the Pearson Peacekeeping
Centre is an independent, non-profit organization whose mandate
is to support Canada's contribution to international peace and security.
We conduct education, training and
research on all aspects of peace
operations at our campuses in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia and Montréal,
Quebec, and at locations around the world.
The Centre is dedicated to:
- Promoting a better understanding among policymakers and practitioners
of the evolving nature of violent conflict, and strategies for
its prevention, mitigation, resolution and post-conflict peacebuilding.
- Ensuring that our participants have the knowledge and practical
skills they need to be effective members of a peace operation.
- Bringing a uniquely Canadian perspective to international peace
operations education, training and research initiatives.
The Centre receives core funding from the Department of National
Defence and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International
Trade of the Government of Canada.
In addition, the Canadian International Development Agency supports
the Public Security Training Programme implemented by the PPC in
the Francophone countries of West Africa. http://www.pdcmps.ca/eng/index.html
