The Canadian Professional Floral Designers Association (CPFDA) was created by Floral Designers for Floral Designers and other industry associates. (It does not matter if you are a shop owner, freelance designer, work in a retail shop or work for a wholesale outlet, just as long as you are in the commercial field).

CPFDA was created as a network for Floral Designers to exchange ideas, discuss new products, theories and other industry related matters.

As Professional Floral Designers our aim is to bring Floral Design Awareness and Education to the Association and to the consumer, and to set the criteria for Floral Design. Our search for, and sharing of, higher standards in Design and Knowledge sets us apart.

•  To make the Professional Designer more visible as a group, whether to the public in general or /to governmental institutions, and therefore be acknowledged as professionals.

•  To educate and preserve good Floral Design among ourselves.

•  To supply a knowledgeable forum so that suppliers, manufacturers and growers can avail themselves of the Association to critique and evaluate new products and / or new ideas.

•  To publish a newsletter on a regular basis and make it available to the membership and industry. The said newsletter to contain product/ design/ floral information, industry related news, news of members and other colleagues, and other items of interest.

•  To allow us to speak from the strength of a group rather than by the individual voice.

•  To have monthly meetings to further the above aims of the Association with the exception of Augustr and December. (There could be exceptions to this, such as extraordinary meetings, or other industry events).
