Mines Action Canada

Mines Action Canada (MAC), a coalition of Canadian non-governmental organizations, is an international leader working to eliminate the serious humanitarian, environmental and development consequences of landmines and other explosive remnants of war (ERW).

The human-made disaster caused by these weapons is solvable in our lifetime. They exist to advocate for alleviation of the impact of these weapons on the rights, dignity and well-being of civilian populations.

MAC does this by engaging the Canadian public; building their partners' capacity domestically and internationally; researching and monitoring the performance and compliance levels of disarmament and humanitarian laws, treaties and norms; and developing and disseminating resources.

MAC seeks to create an enabling environment to achieve its goals based upon the core values of peace, social justice, partnership, solidarity, cooperation, and innovation.
