Education continues to be a core mandate of CCA. As the importance of media literacy education increases, CCA is gaining momentum and a valued reputation for being the credible, caring and authoritative voice of responsible children's advertising and communications in Canada. We will continue to work in partnership with government, educators, parents and issue experts to identify and address issues of concern in children's lives.
