The collective efforts of the membership and volunteer directors over the past three decades have resulted in making CPA members vital to the success of the communities we serve.

Member Testimonials

As a newcomer to the industry, the CPA has been a wonderful source of contacts and information, particularly the opportunity to develop relationships and share information in person and at the conferences.
Cathy PalmerCity of Vancouver
The value of a CPA membership is “Huge.” There are advantages of being able to learn from fellow CPA members. It’s all about networking and learning about best practices. You can’t get this knowledge and experience if you don’t visit the conferences and talk to your peers.
Tyler StangierWest Coast Express
The CPA is an information resource for its members, among other things. If someone requires our services, they’d look within the association first to find a vendor. Canada Ticket has gained a large number of customers thanks to its CPA membership.
Steve WengrowichCanada Ticket Inc.
The networking opportunities are second to none. The members are a great resource. There’s always someone willing to share experiences, and the conferences are very useful. You learn a lot and you meet pretty much everybody in the industry, which is important. It’s a very inclusive organization and I credit the CPA for its constant improvement efforts through annual feedback surveys and listening to its members.
