Mission & Objectives

The Canadian Italian Business and Professional Association of Toronto (CIBPA) has been in existence since 1952, and has earned an enviable reputation as the premier non-profit membership association that best represents the business and professional interests of Canadian-Italians in the Greater Toronto area.

Our mandate is to promote and cultivate the business, professional, cultural and social interests of our members, and to be the recognized lobbying voice of the Canadian-Italian community at large. We continue to be the pre-eminent forum for the exchange of ideas and viewpoints, and are focused on the development of business and professional contacts beyond the simple practice of networking or exchanging business cards.

To promote and encourage a spirit of goodwill, fairness and equity among its members
To do all such other things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of these objectives, which objectives are more particularly set out in the Charter of Incorporation.
