The Canadian Paint and Coatings Association:
Representing an Environment and Consumer Friendly Industry

Regulatory, legislative counsel

Since 1913, the CPCA has added value in stakeholder consultations and meetings with government officials, to help develop federal and provincial legislation and regulations. It carries on this work today from its headquarters in Ottawa.

The CPCA is also active internationally. With sister associations in Asia, Australia, North America and South America, CPCA is a member of the International Paint and Printing Ink Council (IPPIC). IPPIC offers a global forum in which to discuss and coordinate global paint industry policy.
