- Canadian Association of Physicists
The Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) is a Canadian lobby that focuses on creating awareness amongst Canadians and Canadian legislator of Physics issues. The organization was founded in 1945 and currently has over 1000 members. CAP is bilingual and functions in both English and French.
Physics in Canada
Physics in Canada is a Bi-Monthly Journal published by CAP. The aim of this journal is to provide a window into developments in physics and the physics community. The journal contains scientific articles in both official languages, book reviews, job listings and many other items that may be important to Canadian Physicists.
P. Phys
CAP can appoint an official designation called the P. Phys which stands for Professional Physicist. This designation was unveiled at the CAP congress in 1999 and already more than 100 people carry this distinction.
This distinction is similar in idea to the P.Eng.
Physics Contest
The Canadian Association of Physics hosts the CAP physics contest across Canada each year. Outstanding participants will be invited to the Canadian Chemistry and Physics Olympiad, by the University of Toronto.
