The Canadian Centre for Diversity (CCD) was founded in 1947 as Canadian Council of Christians and Jews (CCCJ) to promote racial and religious harmony. Eminent Canadians such as Lady Flora McCrae Eaton of the Eaton department stores family and newspaper tycoon Lord Thomson of Fleet were aware of the horrors brought on by prejudice and discrimination in war-ravaged Europe and vowed to work hard to ensure that Canada would become a land where all would feel welcome, whatever their race, religion or ethnic origin. Although its initial aim was the 'promotion of goodwill and understanding among the Protestants, Catholics and Jews of Canada', CCCJ quickly (by 1949) broadened its mandate to 'the promotion of justice, amity, cooperation and understanding among the many religious, ethnic, and racial groups that live in this nation.'
