About Us

Who We Are

The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, created by an Act of Parliament in 1984, is an independent, not-for-profit think-tank on Canada’s relations with Asia. The Foundation functions as a knowledge broker, bringing together people and knowledge to provide current and comprehensive research, analysis and information on Canada’s transpacific relations. It promotes dialogue on economic, security, political and social issues, fostering informed decision-making in the Canadian public, private and non-governmental sectors. The Foundation also provides grants to support policy research and informed discussion on Canada’s relations with Asia.

What We Do

The Foundation undertakes research both directly on its own account, and through outside researchers. It is the hub of a national network of around 350 experts from across Canada who are involved in Asia Pacific research. The Foundation also administers a Grants Program designed to support policy research and informed discussion on Canada’s relations with Asia.
