Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA)

One of Canada’s leading progressive voices in public policy debate, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives was founded in 1980 and has offices in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia.

Now more than ever, independent, non-partisan and non-profit research institutes such as the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives are needed in Canada to provide balanced research on issues of social, economic and environmental justice.

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is known for its hard-hitting research and analysis on the economy, poverty issues and the wage gap, health care, women’s rights, education and climate change amongst many other pressing matters.

Using the guiding values of fairness, human dignity and public good, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives works to build a more sustainable Canada with equality for all of its citizens.
