Our mission, at the ACP, is to support the development of a strong, independent, and vibrant Canadian-owned publishing industry. The ACP provides public policy advice and representation to government, arts agencies, the media, and the public.
Members also have the opportunity to shape the policy climate for publishers.
The research agenda is tailored to suit members' business needs. The ACP disseminates timely and relevant information to the membership on a weekly basis through the Just The Fax bulletin. This helps ensure that publishers across Canada are kept informed of industry developments. Marketing The ACP initiates and delivers select cooperative marketing projects that are innovative, have broad membership appeal, and are implemented on a cost-recovery basis. As well, the ACP holds several seminars and meetings each year exclusively for our members, providing professional development and networking opportunities for publishers.
