CEMENT ASSOCIATION OF CANADA, THE

The Cement Association of Canada (CAC) is an industry-supported, non-for-profit organization representing virtually all of Canada's cement producers and importers. CAC's aim is to improve and extend the uses of cement and concrete through market development, codes and standards, and government affairs work.

Backed by a strong regional presence, CAC's mandate extends beyond market support to include direct, project-by-project promotion of concrete. These local promotion activities revolve around CAC's four regional offices and a network of field engineers based in most major Canadian metropoloitan centres. From its National Operations office in Ottawa, CAC represents cement and concrete interests in national issues.

Operating as the Canadian division of the Portland Cement Association (PCA), CAC is able to draw on the latter's resources for market development this information base, CAC sponsors specialized programs at the Canadian universities, research facilities, and testing laboratories. The Assocaition's other principal activities include: assisting the design and construction community inplanning and building with concrete; providing expert advse on concrete materials and construction methods; and developing and distributing technical and promotional material - publications, computer programs, and audio-visuals.

INSURANCE BUREAU OF CANADA

Established in 1964, Insurance Bureau of Canada is the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, car and business insurers. Our member companies represent nearly 95% of the property and casualty insurance market in Canada, an industry that employs over 110,000 Canadians, pays more than $6 billion in taxes to the federal and provincial governments and has a total premium base of $38 billion, approximately half of which is derived from automobile insurance.

IBC’s role is to be active on behalf of its members. IBC does this by:

  • forecasting and responding to issues that may arise in the industry
  • anticipating opportunities to identify, shape and influence change in support of members’ business needs
  • lobbying the federal and provincial governments to secure changes in public policy and in the business-operating environment that will benefit insurance companies and their customers

IBC works on a number of fronts to increase public understanding of home, car and business insurance. Public understanding is also fostered through IBC’s five regional consumer centres, where trained personnel with many years of industry and government relations experience answer tens of thousands of consumer inquiries each year.
