CPA Goals

The principle aims of the Canadian Poetry Association are to promote
the reading, writing, publishing, and preservation of poetry in Canada
through the individual efforts of its members; to promote
communication among poets, publishers, and the general public; to
encourage leadership and participation from members, and to
encourage the formation and development of autonomous local
chapters.



Autonomous chapters have been active in many communities
throughout Canada, coast to coast from the Maritimes to British
Columbia, and in such centers in between as Metropolitan Toronto
and Southwestern Ontario. The National Head Office moved from
Toronto to Moncton, New Brunswick.

The Canadian Poetry Association aims also to promote and
encourage all forms and styles of poetry; to promote the
establishment and maintenance of poetry libraries and archives in
educational institutions across Canada; and through its newsletter
Poemata to develop an international connection for Canadian poets.
