A core activity of the CRRF is to research and report, and give voice to, the current issues that impact Canada’s democratic principles and multiculturalism policies. These include issues and events connected to race relations, Canadian identity, belonging, and the mutuality of citizenship rights and responsibilities.
The CRRF regularly posts press releases via the Canadian Newswire Service, and articles and announcements via the website and the Foundation's monthly newsletter. The Foundation's spokespersons regularly comment on issues related to contemporary race relations.
