In 1940 the Canadian Mennonite Relief Committee was formed to help alleviate the distress caused by World War II. Its constituency consisted largely of Mennonite immigrants of the 1920s.
In 1960 the Canadian Mennonite Relief Committee and the Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization were merged to form the Canadian Mennonite Relief and Immigration Council (CMRIC). The CMRIC and several other relief organizations merged to for Mennonite Central Committee (Canada) in 1964.
The CMRIC was formally dissolved on March 20, 1968.
This series consists of the complete minutes of the Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization and the Mennonite Central Relief Committee, as well as a complete set of minutes for the Canadian Mennonite Relief and Immigration Council (CMRIC), the successor organization for the years 1960-1964.
These records are most useful for studying the overall work of these organizations. The records are also very relevant for any study of the history and activity of Mennonite Central Committee (Canada), that grew out of these organizations.
