The Institute for Canadian Citizenship is a national, non-profit organization that engages Canadians in citizenship through innovative programs, campaigns and partnerships designed to ensure new citizens are welcomed and included as equals, create meaningful connections among all Canadian citizens, foster a culture of active, engaged citizens and celebrate what it means to be Canadian.
 
The ICC was founded and is co-chaired by the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson and John Ralston Saul.

Building Citizenship is a national network of volunteers who organize citizenship ceremonies in their communities, in partnership with Citizenship and Immigration Canada. By bringing the ceremony into the community, and including a unique roundtable discussion and a reception to celebrate afterwards, our ceremonies make it easy for new citizens and established Canadians to connect.

The Cultural Access Pass is a gift to each new Canadian citizen during their first year of citizenship. The pass provides complimentary admission to more than 1,000 of Canada's cultural treasures from coast-to-coast-to-coast. The Cultural Access Pass creates opportunities for Canada's newest citizens to discover our rich cultural history, world-renowned artworks, historical figures and stunning parks.

The LaFontaine-Baldwin Symposium invites Canadians to join the national conversation on the public good. Founded in 2000 by ICC Co-Chair John Ralston Saul, the LaFontaine-Baldwin Symposium features lectures on democracy, civic engagement, and citizenship with an opportunity for participants to engage through roundtable discussions and online.
