HISTORY
Extract:
... In 2012, the Ontario Multifaith Council (OMC) was informed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services (MCSS) that its contract to ensure adequate and appropriate spiritual and religious care for people in care by the Province of Ontario was ending on March 31, 2013. As this contract comprises the core funding for the organization, the OMC Board of Directors took immediate action to ensure the continuation of the organization and its work to provide a valuable service to public, not-for-profit, academic and private sectors and the general public. A transition team was formed with the mandate to define operations for the next year and to set the stage for refocusing the organization (Vision Document). In 2015 the name of Ontario Multifaith Council was changed to The Canadian Multifaith Federation (CMF). The main office continues to be operated by CMF staff. (From 1972 to date: here)
