The Canadian Franchise Association provides a full range of programs and services to help our members grow through the support of the franchise community. Our programs and services include advocacy, education and training, industry information and best practice articles, networking and lead generation. None of these programs and services would be possible without the help of our volunteers! The CFA is honoured to recognize the contributions of our Franchise System and Franchise Support Supplier Members!
Thank you to our CFA volunteers!
The CFA strives to provide our members with key opportunities and education that can help drive the success of their businesses.
Without our event speakers, task force members, committee members, and other volunteers, events such as the Virtual Franchise Canada Show, Relaunch, Reset & Recover, Elevate & Empower, Learn & Grow Webinars, and more, would not be possible.
Program Sponsor:
Sponsorship opportunities for the CFA Volunteer Recognition Program are available! To schedule a meeting with the CFA, or to learn more about sponsoring the program, please contact:
