The Canadian Association of Police Governance (CAPG) is the only national organization dedicated to excellence in police governance in Canada. Founded in 1989 with the goal to improve the effectiveness of civilian bodies that govern local police services, we have since grown to represent 80% of municipal police service oversight bodies throughout Canada.
For over 30 years, the CAPG has worked diligently to achieve the highest standards as the national voice of civilian oversight of municipal police. Legitimate police powers are derived from the consent of the public. As a result, it is incumbent upon the members of the CAPG to safeguard the public trust by acting ethically. The ethical foundation of justice, rule of law, moral core, human dignity and democratic principles forms the context for ethical decision making, which guide decisions made by the CAPG. The primary duty of all CAPG members is to work in support of Canadian democratic values that are enshrined in the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
NACCA, the National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association, is the national association for a network of Indigenous Financial Institutions (IFIs) dedicated to stimulating economic growth for Indigenous people in Canada. The IFI network provides financing and support to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit businesses. NACCA is membership-driven, and committed to the needs of Aboriginal Financial Institutions and the Indigenous businesses that they serve. NACCA plays a national coordinating role on behalf of its members, by advocating for Indigenous economic development, by representing the unified voice of AFIs, by publishing national and regional results of AFI work, by fostering partnerships and building capacity, and by delivering the Aboriginal Entrepreneurship Program products and services to the AFIs.
