Wikipedia description:

The Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF; French: Fondation Canadienne des relations raciales, FCRR) is a charitable organization and Crown corporation responsible to foster racial harmony and cross-cultural understanding and help to eliminate racism in Canada. The foundation was officially opened in November 1997 as part of the Japanese Canadian Redress Agreement. The Foundation is led by a board of directors appointed by the federal government as selected by the Governor in Council by recommendations from the Minister of Canadian Heritage, currently Marc Miller. (Previously, such advice came from the Minister for Multiculturalism, last held by Jason Kenney.) As an arms-length organization, the CRRF has Special NGO Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
