In the space of seven short years, the Dominion Institute has had a far- reaching impact on Canadians’ perceptions of their history and shared citizenship, through ground breaking public opinion research, high-profile Internet, education and television programming, book publications, and meaningful curriculum reform. Use this Web site to learn more about the Institute, access past research initiatives (polls & publications) and explore our educational Internet sites. |
