The mission of the Canadian Quilters Association is to promote and celebrate quilting and Canadian quilters by preserving the traditions of those who have come before us while looking to new and creative ways to enhance quilting for the present and future. CQA is dedicated to preserving the traditions of quilting, supporting current trends in quilt making, and providing a forum for Canadian quilters of all ages and levels to share and learn about the Canadian quilting scene. CQA works with individuals, professionals, guilds, and the industry through its annual conference and workshops, its magazine, social media, the certified judging program, and its various programs and events.
