In 1971 the federal government of Canada adopted an official policy of multiculturalism within a bilingual national framework. Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau defined this new reality when he declared Canada to be a nation "with two official languages but no official culture." Canadian immigration policies, once notoriously discriminatory against visible minority applicants, have over the past two decades been instrumental in promoting multiculturalism through accommodating a much more diverse and rich mix of immigrants. The goal of multiculturalism is to provide an environment wherein all cultures can achieve an equal acceptance and value, and all Canadians share equally the political, social, and economic rewards of our free society. Institutions are often held to blame for harbouring, or even worse, promoting ethnic and cultural disharmony.

This group, which leads the political, social, and cultural life of Canada, is referred to as the “dominant culture” although in sheer numbers at least, it is no longer the majority culture.

The police, as the front line proponents of the Criminal Justice System, are often thrust into difficult and complex situations where important decisions must be made urgently, and with growing frequency, made within a cultural framework often alien from most employees’ own experiences. If the police are to protect and support the public in a fair, impartial, sensitive and respectful manner, as is their mandate, then they must better understand the communities they serve. Such an understanding is integral to effective policing.
