Celebrating 60 Years of Strong Franchising.
Built for What’s Next.
Built by Purpose. Powered by People. Made to Last.
Since 1967, the Canadian Franchise Association has championed the growth and success of franchising in Canada. From supporting entrepreneurs in their local communities to advocating for a thriving franchise sector, we’ve helped shape the impact of one of Canada’s most successful business models.
Now, it’s time to celebrate that legacy—and look ahead to the future.
Join franchise leaders, executives, franchisees, suppliers, and industry experts from across the country for the 2027 CFA National Convention, a milestone event celebrating six decades of innovation, collaboration, and growth.
This year’s theme, Built by Purpose. Powered by People. Made to Last., reflects the values that have defined Canadian franchising for generations. It celebrates businesses built with intention, lead by passionate people, and designed to create lasting impact in the communities they serve.
