COPA NATIONAL

COPA is a Francophone not-for-profit organization offering services in both French and English. We are a recognized centre of excellence in the field of violence and bullying prevention by advocating for equity and inclusion. COPA provides schools and communities with unique multimedia educational resources, as well as training, professional development and opportunities for capacity-building and consultation. COPA works with provincial and local organizations and institutions across Ontario, such as parent groups, schools, boards, teachers' unions, women's groups, cultural, health and community centres and settlement agencies. COPA's unique approach is based on individual and collective empowerment, founded on principles of social justice to bring about positive change. COPA cares deeply about human rights, especially those of children and all marginalized groups. We all belong. * As of September 2021, COPA has obtained a national status and can now serve all French communities across Canada. Our new entity name is COPA NATIONAL.
