Welcome to the National Office

Bruce Campbell“I believe that ideas matter deeply in determining our future as a nation. The CCPA is one of Canada’s leading sources of progressive policy ideas. Our work is rooted in the values of social justice and environmental sustainability. It is authoritative and accessible to a broad  audience. As non corporate-funded policy think tanks continue to be silenced, the importance of the Centre has never been greater.”

– Bruce Campbell
CCPA Executive Director
