Canadian Peace Alliance

Canadian Peace Alliance

The Canadian Peace Alliance / L'Alliance canadienne pour la paix (CPA/ACP) is a Canadian umbrella peace organization claiming more than 140 member groups. It was founded in 1985.

The CPA organizes cross-Canada campaigns and actions; arranges political lobbying sessions between member groups and key political leaders in Ottawa; facilitates the development of strategies for the Canadian peace movement; and produces and distributes education and action materials.

The CPA's policy and campaign direction is determined by a bi-annual convention of member groups and by a geographically representative Steering Committee.
