| The Canadian Association of Communicators in Education (CACE) was established in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1984, as a result of an initiative of the Association of Large School Boards in Ontario, (later called the Ontario Public School Boards Association – OPSBA), and with organizational assistance from the Canadian Education Association (CEA). The major goal of the new organization was to provide networking opportunities for its members and acknowledge their contributions to the success of the educational system in Canada. CACE’s first annual conference was also held in Winnipeg one year later, and consecutive conferences have been held each Fall in major cities across the country. A bilingual organization, CACE represents communications professionals who work in private and publicly-funded school boards, colleges and universities, teachers’ associations, and government departments and ministries.
