President’s Message
As President of the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website. The CAP’s mission is to champion physics, aiming for a vibrant and inclusive physics community that fosters discovery and innovation in Canada. To this end, the CAP embeds our values of equity, diversity and inclusion throughout all our activities and programs.
The CAP serves our membership and the broader physics community in Canada in many ways. First and foremost, the Association provides a home base for our valued members, numbering over 1300, whether they are students, teachers, postdoctoral fellows, professors, research scientists, professional physicists and retirees, who share a love of physics. As junior physicists progress in their career, perhaps moving to a new institution or employer, they will always find a home of friends and colleagues within the CAP.
