**The Canadian Peace Alliance / L'Alliance canadienne pour la paix** (CPA/ACP) was a Canadian umbrella [peace organization](/source/Peace_movement)[1][2] claiming more than 140 member groups. It was founded in 1985, but became inactive in 2017.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

The Canadian Peace Alliance organized cross-Canada campaigns and actions; arranged political lobbying sessions between member groups and key political leaders in Ottawa; facilitated the development of strategies for the Canadian peace movement; and produced and distributed education and action materials.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

The Canadian Peace Alliance's policy and campaign direction was determined by a bi-annual convention of member groups and by a geographically representative Steering Committee.

The Canadian Peace Alliance worked closely with the [Canadian Labour Congress](/source/Canadian_Labour_Congress).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
