CA History

Now in its 131st year, Ontario’s CA profession has a long and proud history. From the province’s origins as an agricultural society to its emergence as an economic powerhouse, CAs have played a key role in shaping Ontario’s progress. The profession's history bridges all of this country’s major milestones.

Ontario CAs have a proud history of innovation and reform, but one thing has remained constant throughout: a commitment to ethics and integrity, internationally recognized high standards and guardianship of the public trust.
