Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) is a research institute and registered charity that publishes analysis and commentary on public policy and issues affecting people in Canada. Its work spans the economy, climate change, housing, health care, education, child care, income inequality, workers’ rights, Indigenous rights, gender equality and democratic life. The organization examines these topics across Canadian regions, with provincial coverage that includes British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan, among others.

CCPA shares its research and ideas through publications such as Policy Notes and The Monitor, alongside articles, guides, lectures and other commentary. Its materials assess government policies, budgets and election proposals, and explore potential solutions to social and economic challenges. The organization makes its publications available at no cost and invites readers to support its work through donations, including one-time, monthly and legacy gifts. It also provides updates, events and media contacts, and welcomes pitches and organizational support. CCPA states a commitment to reconciliation and to lifting Indigenous voices in its work.
