Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) is a voluntary membership organization established in 1972 that represents public colleges, institutes, polytechnics, and CEGEPs in Canada. The organization advocates for its members with the federal government, policymakers, and industry, facilitates strategic planning and knowledge sharing among college sector leaders, and supports domestic and international development through federally funded social impact programs. These initiatives often involve close collaboration with its members, industry partners, and local governments.
