Mission Statement

The mission of the Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians (CAFP) is to promote and advance the values of democracy, leadership, and public service by supporting and engaging former Senators and MP’s in their post-parliamentary lives.

What We Do

We strive to foster a community of mutual respect, collegiality, and lifelong learning amongst former parliamentarians, while advocating for the importance of democratic institutions and the role of parliamentarians in promoting the democratic values of Canada and the well-being of its citizens. Our aim is to provide opportunities for our members to share their knowledge, experience, and expertise, and to promote public understanding of the parliamentary process and the importance of democratic governance in Canada.

Events and Study Tours

Members network and engage through events, including the CAFP Annual General Meeting, receptions, and regional meetings held across Canada. Members have the opportunity to participate in international study tours to gain and share knowledge about democracy, government, and public affairs. Please visit our Events page to find out more and to register for upcoming events.
