Founded in 1959, the Chamber of Marine Commerce (CMC) is a bi-national, private sector, not-for-profit association that represents marine industry stakeholders including:
* Ship Owners
* Cargo Shippers
* Canadian & U.S. Ports
* The Seaway
* Support Companies
* Terminals
* Industry Partners
The Chamber advocates for safe, sustainable, harmonized and competitive policy and regulation that recognizes the marine transportation system’s significant advantages in the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence, Coastal and Arctic regions.
The marine industry is vital to our prosperity by enabling efficient trade within North America and around the world. As the safest, most efficient and environmentally smart method of carrying bulk freight, the increased use of marine transportation alleviates highway congestion, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and is a vital catalyst to overall economic growth.
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.
