Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

The Promethean Society : The Promethean Society was established in 1962 to promote cultural and social relations and cooperation between Canadian ethnic groups and their organizations. It favours integration of ethnic groups into Canadian society and their full participation in it, while preserving their cultural traditions and sharing them with other Canadians.

The Society will take a stand on issues affecting ethnic groups but it does not support the concept of these groups as a political or social force independent of English and French Canadians. The Promethean Society recognizes and sympathizes with French Canadian cultural aspirations, but does not favour a separate Quebec. Many of the members of the society are also members of various ethnic organizations.
