Project Management Association of Canada
http://www.pmac-ampc.ca/

In a world where project management is becoming a vital force for innovation and organizational behaviour, it is incumbent upon those within the profession to maintain a community in which diversity, creativity and open-mindedness are its hallmarks. PMAC-AGPC members believe that Canada represents these ideals and is, as a result, ideally positioned to serve a new assembly of project managers as it faces unique new challenges in the coming years.
Canada is unique in its ability to serve both a national people and an international stage. It has obligations to both and, unlike many, the capacity to deliver to both. PMAC-AGPC has the same unique challenge and sees itself being able to reach it from the beginning. The rationale for PMAC-AGPC is simply to:

Serve the needs and demands of a dynamic profession that is experiencing significant growth in a bilingual country.
Explore a broader model of project management - one that includes the development of judgment concerning technical, behavioural, and contextual project elements.
Apply a broader definition of project success-the appreciation by the various interested parties of the project outcomes-to multiple and varied industries.
Support the international PM with the provision of a unique Canadian voice.
