About Us

The CCPA’s National Office was established in 1980 when the Centre was founded. Located in Ottawa, it coordinates the CCPA’s national research agenda and publishes reports, studies, and commentary on a wide range of public policy issues. The office also publishes its national magazine, The Monitor (six times a year) and Our Schools/Our Selves, a twice-yearly education journal. The National Office houses several ongoing projects: the Alternative Federal Budget, the Education Project, the Growing Gap, Making Women Count, and the Trade and Investment Research Project.
