The Embassy of The United People of Canada aims to be an ideal place for local, national and international NGOs, community organizations, social enterprises, etc. that may look to do business both with the Federal Government of Canada and with other countries. In fostering a vibrant and inclusive community space, involving a variety of nationalities is important.

The Embassy is located in a high-visibility area, in close proximity with the various diplomatic missions of various countries, which helps raise the profile of the various missions of those using this shared space, and essentially puts them at the "big kids table" so to speak, without all of the expense of running their own facility, as this is a social enterprise shared venue space approach.

If a First Nation were to be a shared space client of The Embassy, they would have access to a facility where they could engage in a diplomatic dialogue with the Federal Government from a strategically located facility amongst the embassies of a variety of nations, without the need for the costs to acquire and maintain such a large facility for their exclusive use.

By providing such a shared space in the community, we hold space for a wide variety of voices to be heard, not just those that have the budgets for their own exclusive high-visibility spaces. Many people and organizations from coast-to-coast, north to south, and within and around Ottawa have expressed their support for The Embassy of The United People of Canada in Ottawa. We look forward to being a great addition to Ottawa, with our vision for such a vibrant and inclusive community space!

 

"Community Conversations provide a safe space in which people come together for thoughtful discussion and dialogue about big visions and shared values — past, present, and future. Today, more than ever, we need this kind of dialogue." - Michael Haupt
