Capacity development
We invest in building skills and experience among family scholars.
Our commitment
In keeping with our founders’ vision to serve as a “Royal Commission on the family that should never be discharged,” the Vanier Institute is committed to ensuring the sustainability, depth, and strength of Canada’s family research sector.
Our approach
