Canadian Museum for Human Rights
With a common locale and a common mission, 
the partnership between the CHRR and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is a natural fit. The partnership is focused on building relationships between researchers at the two institutions. U of M’s ResearchLife magazine has featured some of those fertile connections. As early as May 2010, the Centre for Human Rights Research hosted a research roundtable called Unfinished Business: Human Rights Issues in the 21st century, which brought together researchers from the University of Manitoba and staff from the museum. The roundtable sparked connections that led to several seminar series and a book of essays. The CHRR is committed to helping the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in its mandate to be a centre of learning where Canadians and people from around the world can engage in discussion and commit to taking action against hate and oppression. The CHRR director interviewed new museum president Isha Khan in 2021.
National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation
The University of Manitoba committed itself to helping the Truth & Reconciliation Commission of Canada realize its objectives. To this end, the CHRR helped develop the proposal for University of Manitoba’s National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.
CHRR has hosted seminars, as part of the Critical Conversations series, to highlight research on truth and reconciliation.
The CHRR also produced 10 fact sheets on Aboriginal law and organized the academic conference Prairie Perspectives on Indian Residential Schools, Truth and Reconciliation, for the first Truth and Reconciliation Commission national event in 2010.
