The Council is a federation of Canadian Studies associations. Any national

to enhance communication among its members in order to facilitate and develop
such activities. To this end, the council organizes international conferences,
publishes information material, administers programmes on behalf of government
departments and agencies, and devotes a large portion of its resources to
liaison and communication.
