Canadian Landmine Foundation
The Canadian Landmine Foundation (French: ''La Fondation des Mines Terrestres du Canada'') is a Canadian charity that seeks to "raise awareness and funds to end the human and economic suffering caused by anti-personnel landmines".〔(Canadian Landmine Foundation - about )〕
The organisation was launched in 1999 with backing from Queen Noor of Jordan, the then-Governor General of Canada Adrienne Clarkson, the then-Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and United States Senator Patrick Leahy.〔(Jordanian Embassy to the United States ), quoting the Jordan Times of 5 December 1999〕
The Foundation has worked in Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Mozambique and Cambodia〔Kreger, N (Profile: The Canadian Landmine Foundation ), Journal of Mine Action, Issue 7.2, August 2003〕 and is one of the funders of the Canadian International Demining Corps.〔McLeod, J (00-Woof ), Canadian Free Press, 16 December 2002〕
"Peacekeepers' Day", August 9, was established by the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping with support of the Foundation〔McSheffrey M (Elliot Lake celebrates first National Peacekeepers' Day ), The Standard〕 and Bernard Lord, then-Premier of New Brunswick.〔Press release (Premier's message regarding Peacekeepers Day campaign ) Office of the Premier/Communications New Brunswick, 2 August 2006〕
Honorary directors of the Foundation are Norman Jewison, Patrick Leahy and Maurice Strong,〔[http://www.clearlandmines.com/clfBoard.cfm Canadian Landmine Foundation - board〕 whilst the board of directors includes the former ambassador for Mine Action Daniel Livermore, former Canadian Senator Sheila Finestone and statesman Lloyd Axworthy.
